Survive they said. i tried Breathe they said. i wanted to Open your ******* eyes they screamed! i wished to but i couldn't see through the swelling All i see is grey All i feel is blue All i know is red Grey for the beatings Grey for the handcuffs Grey for the end. i endured in my body Blue for the thoughts in my head Blue for the endless well of tears Blue for the sky I'll never see and the happiness i'll never know Red for the knowledge shoved down my throat Red for the blood that stains my clothes Red for my innocence bled until death and the body that grabbed at my flesh
