Stretched too thin
Skin and bone are leather
Gift wrapping stone
A smile too tight a pulled
Rubber band ready to fight
With words bitter and strong
Like coffee brewing since the
Day before yesterday. The
Rungs on the ladder of my
Spine are broken from the
Pressure of this giant
Climbing up to my brain
Making it ache making a
Stain on my feelings I
Just can’t bleach out.
