![]() I fell on the pavementA Poem by Light![]() A poem with one lie and one truth![]() It was a beautiful day When I was walking down the street Oh, no clue how I could overlook some Portruding stone front of my feet But I did, and so I fell And my cheek saw red And my skin it stung And it started to swell because the mirror Makes you want to claw out your face With distress Makes you want to drag a nail along freckles Until all of them sting Wouldn’t that be sad to do such a horrid thing That will leave a scar But am I not worthy of being acknowledged For my fear, my pain, my suffering In war And then? Lie to cover up your trails! But no lie will erase The sight of blood under your nails Beauty is pain, yes, Because I fell, on the pavement Not in this way should a girl live through A permanent engravement
