Blood

I want to throw my body against these rocks
My own legs will drag me up
I'll jump
but then
I think of who will find me

My blood will slick the soles of their rain boots
My blood will stick to their dark clothes
Slippery, don't fall
You've got people back home
I will not do the harm I'm told to do

I want to throw myself into the ocean's maw
This is the perfect place
I'll face
The call
Just don't follow me

My blood will fade into the water
My blood will end up somewhere new
I shouldn't have these thoughts
Do I make you uncomfortable
I shouldn't have said anything at all
