Leave Your Mark

Every word
Every phrase
Leaves a mark
As dark blood.

You learn to deal
With the tears.

You learn to deal
With the pain.

Ignore it all
And push it back
Into the dark
Into the black.

You learn to cry
Without the noise.

You learn to cry
Without a sound.

Ignore it all
And push it back
Into the dark
Into the black.

You learn to hide
With no notice
Until it’s time
To show the world.
