Red Stripes





Red Stripes


I love these red stripes
The sight eases my pain
So I choose to continue wearing them
Over and over they go and reappear

Every morning I open up those drawers
Wondering what size will I wear today
Do I want them big so everyone can see?
Or small enough so my color is only for me?

Choose, choose, choose…
Okay, I’ll just grab one
What’ve I got to lose?
My life, more blood, another trip to the ER

Red stripes
You control my life
You ease my strife
But everyday you make me choose life or knife

Oh no…
The color is too deep
Mom?! Please help me!”
I wait but she’s not there

I feel like I can’t breathe
My eyes are shutting
No...keep fighting!
My last breath is taken
