Injuries will come and go
if you live a normal childhood.
Cuts and scrapes and boo-boos,
that mommies kisses make feel good.
As you age the scars will fade,
but the memories will stay.
You'll live and learn inevitabally,
but always remember that day.
The bruise I have
is not an accident you see.
Nor is it from abuse
for there's noone here to harm me.
My bruise is quite a mystery.
It just showed up one day.
Now it's black and bleeding,
and it just won't go away.
I hide it from my family,
and few friends know the rest.
This bruise to me is terrifying,
for it's resting on my breast.
A lump inside slowly formed,
and now it's hard as rock.
Imagine my suprise at the find
and my tears of fear and shock.
No way to see a doctor,
not until the forms go through.
I'm not asking for your sympathy,
just thought you should know the truth.

Interesting. This is really different from the entries I've read thus far. The imagery is delicately painted within your words. Nice rhyming too. Thanks for entering and good luck.
