Crayons In Red

Why has everything have to change?

Why hasn’t any one known of my troubles other then god?

The face I live with will always be there

I long to make these memories be absent

When they say they will be there why haven’t they?

Should I take life as it comes?

It feels like raw pain in distress

Nevertheless, is this the war I face when I am here?

I watch it run down my fingers reminding me of red crayons

Yet, no one told of the after effects, no warning labels
