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.
