Innocence, the idea Of a pure white cloth Radiating in all its purity But mine is stained With the most gruesome tie dye Black edged holes That burn against stark white Like emptiness in my soul Red and pink stains From the lust and desire That burns like a sinful fire Green smudges Of greed so vast Abd envy so deep it consumes me Brown spots Not to be glorified by poetry Just to be called the **** in life Purple and blue Not for the sadness But for the cuts and bruises The ones unto others and to myself My flag does not wave In glorious white Its purity is stained With the dye of life
