Red

Red rages 'round the earth so big
Blood on your knees, roars over your shins
Rough red rocks rip through your skin
Anger roars up and pain follows him
Riding on your red bicycle at light
You find a fiery red flower that glows in the night
When you return mum's red in the face
Red hands appear after mum's smack
Your red eyes gleam
Your voice starts roaring
Rude words run through the corridors
Running up to your room
Shedding red angry tears as you race
As red disappears from your fiery red face
Black of sadness sneaks its way through
