"Bruised"
Red, brown, purple bruises Hitting a leather volleyball Most games I played in 10 years
The boy had surgery on Thursday Treats me like dirt, less than white sand Filled inside the hourglass
I gave birth to the abandoned I gave birth to the misunderstood Turning back the clock does nothing
But remind me of every sorrow known Only music brings me happiness The rest is caught in the net Penalty called on the serve
Everyone a player on the court Setting, bumping, spiking the ball Leaving me with bruises in return.
