that awkward moment
when someone asks to borrow
one of your hair ties
and you have to say no
even though you have
five on one wrist
because you need them
not for your hair
but to cover up
the marks
of your own self hatred.
I saw a girl at a street fair the other day, walking a puppy, wearing shorts, scars on her legs for all the world to see. I wanted to walk up to her and say "You are braver than I am" (especially since my permanent scarring is very subtle) but I was with a friend who doesn't know.
