Letters In Red

I Spit in My Own Face The reflection is a disgrace Baptized myself in hate I'd change but it's too late Lost my cool & control A broken mirror & soul Hanging on by a thread As my hand slowly turns red Then I see something I don't want but I need That I never opened or took the time to read Pull myself together from the anger & rage And Read this poetry from the blood stained page But these letters in red Bring me back from the dead A voice enters my ear Whispering words I hold dear Lay your ego & pride I'm here right by your side Any tears that are shed Are caught by these letters in red Unclench both of my fists And then I check on my wrists For any scars on me Where yours used to be I know you aren't here but you are with me Why did I choose to leave when I needed you desperately Then I see something I don't want but I need That I never opened or took the time to read Pull myself together from the anger & rage And Read this poetry from the blood stained page But these letters in red Bring me back from the dead A voice enters my ear Whispering words I hold dear Lay your ego & pride I'm here right by your side Any tears that are shed Are caught by these letters in red Take my hand and don't ever let go Even when I fight, even when I don't know On the path you take me, on the narrow road Just don't leave me behind even if I walk slow But these letters in red Bring me back from the dead A voice enters my ear Whispering words I hold dear Lay your ego & pride I'm here right by your side Any tears that are shed Are caught by these letters in red Letters in red This is the beginning I stand tall with grace The reflection in the mirror For the first time shows a smile on my face
