From Shower of Blood to Shower of Water

Len Tao

My past continues to haunt me.

Because I think of who I used to be.

I want to blame my father, for everything I did.

I was just listening to him like a good little kid.

A murderer who killed everyone that was in my way.

But, that's not who I am today.

The pain of screaming people, begging for their lives as they were crying.

Watching them as they were dying.

The damping of the blood I felt so long ago.

Is gone and is never coming back, because I said so.

I want to say that I didn't listen to what, my father said.

But, how can I, when I live with the fact that people are dead.

I came from a shower of blood to a shower of water.

So did my sister, Jun, my parent's daughter.

So, I have decided through all the pain and strife.

To live a better life.
