"BLOOD RUNS COLD"

Sometimes your blood runs cold

at the sight before you

You may be bold

spitting out what’s true

Pent-up anger inside

ready to flare up

Too tired to hide

about to erupt

But no, stay this calm, this way

Logic reasons: “Think three steps ahead.”

There’s still another day

to let yourself get mad

Blood still runs cold

from so much to hold

Sickness amount

as it brings your spirit down

Too much ugliness

You’ve grown restless

How to make peace

with all in pieces?

Let your blood run cold

that your rage stays locked

It’s a detachment process

to avoid feeling all the hurt
