Sangria


The box stares,
A pretty girl,
Smiling,
Looks up at me,
Her hair-
The colour of mine.

"Sangria"
It reads,
Permanent.
Supposing to stay.

My hair stained,
With this colour,
That-
In Spanish,
Sums up to "bloodletting"

How quaint!
You think,
Not.

But- think again.
We let the blood,
Of our true self,
Altering,
Staining, 
To fit society.
To make them like us.

But,
Really, 
We only let the blood of one-
Of us.
