I Don'T Poem by Hazel Connelly

I don't wear Red she said
It's from the Christmas past
I now wear Red she said
Since the day of the blast.

I don't wear black she said
Until they carried me out
I now wear Black she said
But want to scream and shout.

I don't wear White she said
It's what they covered me in
I now wear White she said
It covers all my skin.

I don't like coffins she said
Now this is where I lay
The coffin is where I sleep she said
Since the lights went out on Christmas day.
