An untold story
Nails remain unpainted and abandoned to the elements.
No neat manicure for these hands.
I grind down the nails one at a time,
taking my time to trim each one with my teeth.
Disregarding each nail clip with a flick of a finger.
Riddled with bite marks as
each nail tells a story and
each rip and tear becomes a reminder.
Worry and anxiety have their grasp on each finger.
Holding each nail hostage.
