Earrings

"It is a rare event for me to wear earrings.
To dress up.
If they were a gift.
Or if the moment felt right.

But I saw some the other day.
They were on sale.
They were simple.
So, I just bought ‘em.
Did not think too much of it.
Cause, well.
Everyone wears earrings, right?

It was not until I put them in did I realize.
Those holes are still there.
They have healed opened.
And I find it weird that I have
Open healed wounds
From years and years ago.
That I dress up and pretend it is normal."
