when I was 6
they asked me how I got the bruise on my arm
I said
I wanted to be superman
and flew off my bed
but didn't quite master my powers yet
when I was 8
they asked me how I got the scrape on my knee
I said
daddy was teaching me how to ride a bike
but he put too much faith in me
so I crashed
when I was 13
they asked me how I broke my hand
I said
I fell down the steps
while chasing after my father
who decided he was no longer happy with us
when I was 16
they asked me why my wrists were covered in cuts
I swore
and blamed my cat
and tugged my sleeve down
when I was 18
she asked me why
I stared
at my mother's swollen eyes
and then I closed mine
and I finally learned how to fly
