19/30 - Hello Kitty Bandages (A Pantoum)

She thought she could live without scars
the bandages are hello kitty
hiding cuts bloody and deep
she knows better than perfume masking cigarette smoke

Wearing bandages of hello kitty
she puts a good face on everything
knows better than perfume masking cigarette smoke
has never guessed the number of jelly beans in the jar

she puts a game face on everything
licking wounds deep and bloody
making more mistakes than all the jelly beans in all the jars
Telling herself she could live it without scars
