Red Ink

July 29, 2021

If I had one pen

for every pen I've wasted,

I'd still waste them.

If I had one pencil

for every pencil I've broken,

I'd still break them.

If I had one eraser

for every eraser I've smudged,

I'd still smudge them.

If I had one red pen

for every red pen I've wasted,

I'd rather write in my own blood.
