Red Ink

Red ink seeps into my skin

Words in crimson shown to them



Inked symbols tell my story

All across my body



Alone, Worthless, Slave...

All this and more

Deep within my skin



Ink used to show the mark

Never last long enough



Alas that mark is forbidden

Never to be shown



Ever hidden ever bleeding

They don't want see



Too quick was this decision made

Never approved the lasting mark



But it's there, not going away

Here to stay, No matter what you say

Author's Notes/Comments:
