Stains - Jean Grae

She ran past the cities, the towns, the villages

They were all gone anyway

She kept running she ran past lakes, forests, she ran until she forgot her name

And remembered it again

She knew they would come, some day, when they’d been back there well they’d

have to

There’s four years gone rogue

Things definitely stay with you,

All these stains, On your soul on your heart

She tried to be better inside but she knew it would never happen

Betrayal is a son of a bitch when it comes from a place you’re never expecting

it

And it’s the closest thing and the closest thing you trust

In an effort to desensitize things, when her team got together

They intended to name their missions after video games

The first was kill screen, she didn’t intend for it to go the way it did

And I guess her team didn’t either

That changed everything

Kill screen was a mission for each member of their team to go into

self-isolation for 90 days

At day 85, things went wrong

Imagination can be a beautiful thing,

But an act of imagination in an isolated space

No food, no light, left her no chance

No need to go into detail, all you need to know is they were the last of the

vigilantes

And after they were gone,

There was only her

But she didn’t feel like saving anyone anymore

A lot of things happened in between that time and this time

Some times in order to really understand things you have to step back

And look at the puzzle pieces

And then put them back together

But in order to really understand the root of things,

You always have to go back to the beginning

So, let’s go back to the beginning
