Stains
Let's talk about stains for a minute
No no
Not those
Not the ones on your new couch or an old t-shirt
Or the ones from the makeup running down your cheeks
The ones inside
There are stains in all of us
They aren't exactly scars
But they still bother you sometimes
You think it's okay, then you see the stain
It bothers you, it might even hurt to remember how it got there
But it's only a stain
It's not a rip or tear
Not a break or shatter
It's only
A stain
A stain that you will see forever, it will never heal like a scar
Sometimes you can scrub hard enough and it will fade, but you will always remember it being there
It sinks into your memory like a bad dream
Or maybe even a good one
Stains will always be around, even with the hardest cleaning
Even though they may seem gone,
Stains always bubble to the surface
Waiting to be seen again
Stains are forever
