Red

My wrists are Stained red
There's a pounding in my head
I wrap up tight 
Feeling the pain 
And knowing its right 
I see you everywhere 
In the halls 
In the stalls 
Your fake smile on the walls 
You might fool them 
With your innocent grin
But I see your unforgiving sin
I see the image in my head 
Your hands stained red 
Like a child Finger painting
All your endless baiting 
The red of their pain 
And you driving them insane
Your words cutting them like a 
knife 
Making them want to end their 
life
