red black and white
all colors of accomplishment
some more than others
red is for the regulars
black is for the honors
white is for the best
i guess i am worth red
because that's the base color of my life
painted over my skin
thrown over my sink
and now draped over my shoulders
my mother said to be the best
but white is not my color
so she settled for black
and she said that was it
and i've failed her
i have failed once again
and once again
red is the color of my destruction
