Define: Michangelina
- Michangelina
- I am both logical and imaginative. I’ve always been a daydreamer and a nightthinker. My ego is nerdy/random; I often have deep inquisitions about the Universe. My Universe is quite abstruse but mostly harmless. If you pursue my friendship, give me chocolate. Statistically, I'm normal, but by my twisted logic, I have an incentive that cries: survival of the uniquest!
~Only There When You Bleed~
I wrote this poem after participating in the American Cancer Society. I thought about all the cruel things cancer has brought about and the experience there was quite sorrowing. Yet at the same time it filled me up with hope to write a new poem about band-aids. Rhyming couplets, mild alliteration, and symbolic. Thanks for reading.
~Only There When You Bleed~
Sometimes a band-aid can't fix everything . . .
Cannot put back together a broken wing,
Replace a warm hug in desperate need,
It's only for when you bleed.
A band-aid is not empathetic,
Nor loving and poetic . . .
Then they stick and won't let go--
They won't prevent heart attacks and help make arteries flow,
A band-aid will never end cancer . . .
Repair the legs on a broken dancer--
Or when a virus mutates,
It will never cure all of the disease sin creates.
But a band-aid can be topped with a kiss,
Free worry from a bit of all of this.
