It’s okay
She cried.
I’m okay she said.
And picked herself up again,
Defiantly.
She picked herself up again
Brushing of the dirt.
Giggling at the hurt.
Bloody knees
And scarred hands.
She wiped away the tears before anyone
Knew what happened.
She walked away like nothing had occurred.
Before anyone might see…
That it hurt.
It hurt so bad.
It hurt in her heart
Where no one could see.
She always made it seem so easy.
Getting back up
With bloody
Knees
And bruises
In places
No one could see.
