Unmarked Bruises Poem by Anita Atina

Unmarked Bruises

Rating: 3.8


We all have bruises and hurts

Some cut in deeper than the rest

Scarring us forever

A gash, a scar, a bleeding scrape

Evoke immediate sympathy

And while they hurt, in the now

They fade away, pretty often

But other scars leave no signs

On our bodies, and yet

Hurt and gnaw at our soul

With unmarked bruises, painful forever

Unmarked bruises welt, not black, not blue - but red, the color of anger, resentment and pain. ‘Tis easier to hide red than black and blues!
