Red, Red Sin

Mr. Not

Dark red rashes up along my legs
Hot burning cream on dry snakeskin
Warm red rivers against my freezing hands

Bloody sprinkles on my nasty back
Splotches of missing skin leaves clear liquid trickling down
Fabric in my wounds grows into my itching flesh

Red eye
Red chin
My body covered in sin

    I hear this! The dry air doesn’t help either.

      no, makes it even worse sadly.

      why sin though?
      its natural and so devoid of sin
      merely a skin condition
      but eh what do i know
      hope it regresses soon
      my friend used to use some kinda E20 cream I think
      but you probably know the best treatments already..
      thanks for sharing

        I usually think of my condition as a price for my past lifes behaviour
