Beneath the band aid lies the scars,
inside the high walls lies a tender heart,
a graveyard of emotions untold.
She is not the one who wears her
heart on her sleeves.
She is unlike the one you meet regularly
She is the one who has mastered
the art of indifference just to show
the world how well put together she is,
while she might be on the battleground
fighting with her demons.

She hides every wound with a
band aid, it's a cakewalk for her,
to deal with difficult emotions.
She in on guard, mostly if not always,
trying to protect her graveyard
from intruders who try to
read her like a book.
She has no time for visitors
that come and go.
She is not looking for the
permanent one either.
It's a lot of work to remove
all the band aids just to
put it back again,
this time on deeper scars.
Her pain is better hidden in her
tender heart, as if its some
treasure she found on a treasure hunt.
