Warnings: Murder (but in self-defense)
The blood is stuck upon my hands
I cannot make it go away
In the back of my loud mind
A voice whispers it's here to stay
It's underneath my fingernails
In the palms along the lines
It reminds me of a drink
Like the darkest of red wines
I know that it was self-defense
That I'm the victim in this mess
Yet still I look down at the red
And feel something I can't express
Twenty years ago this blood
Would not have been a sight to please
Is this still the same substance
That once fell from skinned up knees?
The blood stuck on my hands belongs
To cruel men filled with a twisted view
But in my head it looks just like
The blood of kids I never knew
