Cruelty beyond words could describe
The live animal's body left sitting in the open
Open for the world to see
Its bloody heart and its soft intestines
Sickened with disgust
I shut my eyes
Red spots splatted in my closed lids
Ran out of the classroom
Slammed the washroom door
Shivering with shock
Letting out my complaints to the toilet
Standing alone in the mirror
As shivers transformed me into a blur of red and blue
