warnings in plain sight


hair tied up

like her toung in her throat

flowers skattered

like her toughts

high shorts zipped up

like her mouth every day

socks pulled high

likepuffs of smoke leaving her mouth

lips dyed red

like the blood on her wrists

eyels endless black

like chambers in her heart

skin pale and scarred

like her past 

pill bottles empty 

like her mind

and people dont notice

like its not in plain sight
