i raised my skin
above the rest
and saw a bruise
red and bold
it grew then shrank
wrinkled in pain
the nerves had screamed
till they turned purple
withstanding a touch
and a push
it endured and suffered
the bully's abuse
then came too much
too many times
its coat worn thin
gave way at last
it'd popped
so suddenly
undressed
too quickly
its innards gone
substance killed
and clear water
was all it spilled.
