Temporary Tattoo

random poem, about writing on myself with a pen, has a dark side to it, idk why lol

your skin

fresh, clean,

blank.

the red

of blood.

the black

of death.

the blue

of tears.

you press,

down, leaving

marks.

the red

of blood.

the black

of death.

the blue

of tears.

walk through

school, colors

loud.

the red

of blood.

the black

of death.

the blue

of tears.

show off

your drawing

skills.

the red

of blood.

the black

of death.

the blue

of tears.

on the bus

you realize,

dang.

the red

of blood.

the black

of death.

the blue

of tears.

parents don't

like, what

now?

the red

of blood.

the black

of death.

the blue

of tears.

scrub furiously

at the 

colors.

the red

of blood.

the black

of death.

the blue

of tears.

off the bus

red skin

smarting.

no more

blood

no more

death

no more

tears.
