my eyes are black.
you can't tell the pupil and the iris apart.
so my classmates never lack
comments to make my heart
bleed even more.

every time my heart bleeds
that leads
to the red colour fading
and instead turning
black like ebony.

a black heart
always has a story.
in mine, my classmates
found a way
to their own part.
and that, my heart hates.

if someone seems to have a black heart, don't blame them. blame the people who drained it of the colour.
