Red ink seeps into my skin
Words in crimson shown to them
Inked symbols tell my story
All across my body
Alone, Worthless, Slave...
All this and more
Deep within my skin
Ink used to show the mark
Never last long enough
Alas that mark is forbidden
Never to be shown
Ever hidden ever bleeding
They don't want see
Too quick was this decision made
Never approved the lasting mark
But it's there, not going away
Here to stay, No matter what you say
