Stripes

Three vertical stripes of red

One more and i'll be dead

Black and white tights

To cover scars that show in light

Eyeliner stitches across my mouth

To symbolize this quiet shout

I see the world in black

No white to fight back

Hundreds of horizontal stripes in red

Not as bad as the thoughts in my head

I just want the world to see

Who i am, the real me

Never telling anyone that i need real stitches

Cutting has torn us apart, knife striped riches.
