Where Red Pierces
Yellow strikes where red pierces
Marks are formed with black and blue
Bleeding contours to body
No avoiding pain
What affects the whole body
One can’t soon part from the hurt
It bring feelings of great pain
It does some crippling
Though it can’t be seen with eyes
The red blood still flows on through
And pain ensues with each breath
Nothing can stop it
