my blood is an acid

she's kneeling in the rain

in the darkest hour of the night

blood is leaking from her eyes like acid

blood that was never as pure as she believed

blood that betrayed her at her darkest

blood that hurts like blunt force to the chest

and she wishes to purify her own

but she doesn't know how to do that

without a purge of everything that is her

and she's tired of having to swallow the sadness

and the anger that she's always claimed were someone else's

she's so unbelievably tired of all of this 

she's so angry at herself

and everyone else
