i used to cry over knee scrapes,
and scratches from the pavement,
and use that generic no tears baby soap to clean myself up.
it was in everyone kid's bathroom, 
all purpose; hair, body, scrapes, cuts, anything but tears.

now i cry over the scrapes inside of me,
the scrapes i caused myself,
and i'd give anything to inject that 
no tears baby soap into my veins,
and maybe it will get rid of the dirt inside of me, too.
