Marks of Pain
Red sky so blue skin to rise
Pressure sores scratch to show more
Believing me was finding safe
The truth inside mask of face
Hidden away surface of pain
Not knowing why until lost in space
Covers to cry pillow to hold
Dream no more nightmares of told
Flicker of lantern shadow to stare
Unalome of ink on body of shame
Bruises of numb no more to show
Reflection in puddles ripple of pain
