[bodytext] => tomorrow the bandages
will come off
I wonder if I will be different
or still the same
maybe I will look prettier
and my hands will be better
I think they will
because the doctors trimmed off the burned skin
they tried
but I am still scared
I wonder if the kids will laugh again

tomorrow the bandages
will come off
I wonder if I will be different
or still the same
maybe with one eye
I can still see my mothers face again
with my new glass eye
the doctors said it will be like looking through a marble
shiny and bright
but I am still scared
I wonder if my mother will cry

tomorrow the bandages
will come off
I hope I can still see you
the same way
so beautiful you are
since you’ve been away
things have changed like always
but it will not matter because
tomorrow the bandages
will come off

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time. Please report poetry and or comments that are in breach of our site rules HERE (Please include poem title or url). Parents also please ensure that you supervise your children well when they are on the internet; regardless of what a site says about being, or being considered, child-safe.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
