"Why does blood have to be red?"
"Why does it have to be thick and sticky?"
I kept on wondering as I sat there watching the blood dry on my knee.
I can't remember how long I have been in the same position but it must be a really long time because my toes are having a tingling sensation.
The only feeling I have now is the burning heat in my chest as it slowly rises and falls.
I am used to the heat around me.
I mostly forget about it.
I simply enjoy my anger.It feels good.
It feels empowering.I close my eyes and open them after sometime.
And I feel consumed.My chest rises and falls continuously.
And my eyes burn like the flame of hell.I like this feeling.
I like the rage.
I like the painful anger.I look closely and see the blood has stopped flowing.
I hear breathing and a growling sound as I walk towards it.With a heavy chest, burning eyes and closed bloody fists.
You would think I'm in pain.I lost that feeling eons ago, as a well as, fear and sadness.
They where dead.I buried them.
