Inspired by a poem by my little sister Janis Long.


Book of Red

As I stare at the book of life,
I realize the pages are shrouded with white,
So I get my pen with blood as ink,
And write of things that I think,
I write my story with my blood,
As I swim against the flood,
As I write I reminisce,
My face is red I clench my fists,
I drop a tear maybe three,
Why do I feel this misery,
I've never known exactly why,
Pain and sorrow makes me cry,
I'll read my book once again,
As I do every now and then,
All my wounds with blood they shed,
Have helped me write this book of red.
