Black Nail Polish
May 17, 2016
The Black Nail Polish i wear isn't for looks
It is to express my dark void of a heart
and like a mood ring that has been in the rain to long
My polish is black cold and wet.
The Black Nail Polish I wear isn't pretty.
It doesn't match my dress or my shoes.
Nor does it glisten like mosst polishes do.
It is dark and dull like me.
Eventually it chips and breaks
like the bones inside me
staining my nails as scars stain my body.
The Black Nail Polish i wear isn't for looks
It is for the deep dark depression i feel.
