Undoings
If only I could undo
The day those words
Were carved into my ankle.
My mom wouldn't
Have had a reason
Not to trust me.
My ex and I
Might still be together
To have celebrated a year.
My dad might still
Look at me
Without fear in his eyes
My sister might not
Judge me so harshly
As the "problem child".
Because I wouldn't be.
I'd still be me.
I'd still be
Happy
The day those words
Were carved into my ankle.
My mom wouldn't
Have had a reason
Not to trust me.
My ex and I
Might still be together
To have celebrated a year.
My dad might still
Look at me
Without fear in his eyes
My sister might not
Judge me so harshly
As the "problem child".
Because I wouldn't be.
I'd still be me.
I'd still be
Happy
