I watch the blood run down my legs as the tears fall down my face. Yet another failure. Just another disgrace. I take my nails and dig into the scab feel the pain and watch the blood run. It runs and runs and the deep red slowly reaches my ankles. I smile as it goes down the drain. Watching the blood go into the clear water. As the flow stops I wipe the blood trail off. Wait a few more days for the scab to grow back and do it again.
