Where did We go Wrong?

The blade slices, deep

Wounds that bleed more than blood, cry

Out for attention

Salty crimson tide

Red rains, strain, weaken, release

The anguish inside

Scars forever stay

Cannot be erased, tattoo

Of a dying soul

Long sleeves, jeans, hiding

Moments of weakness, moments

Constantly return

The blade slices, hearts

Bleed deeply, parents cry out

Where did we go wrong?
