Blood on White

 

As the day breaks,

Bright and bustling,

The long-awaited moment is here.

Or so I believed,

With joy filling my heart,

My final day in the Den,

My last exam as a student.

Clad in white,

Feeling radiant and confident,

Strolling carefree,

Then, the unexpected.

Perhaps it's not so dire.

Speeding like a tempest,

Rushing like a torrent,

It spills onto the ground,

Leaving everyone stunned.

This was meant to be my day,

Why now, of all times?

With tears welling in my eyes,

I shuts them tight,

Fainting to the floor.

No, it can't be!

My monthly visitor,

Arriving unannounced,

Unwelcome at this moment,

Without a warning.

Leaving it's stamp,

On my pristine white attire.
