Crimson Passion
February 24, 2019
I paint myself in red
The color of the brightest rose
The color my love has bled
I think about what he had said
And with the deepest of his woes
I paint myself in red.
I think about if we were to wed
I see the flower of our love grows
The color my love has bled
We’re lightly hanging on a thread
The dangers our path do compose
I paint myself in red
Now i look back on the life I led
The decisions that I chose
I paint myself in red
The color my love has bled.

Hi, my name is Sarah So-Jung Park. I am a Korean-American senior at Gretchen Whitney High School. I mostly write lyrics and so the music that I listen to greatly influences my pieces. My goal with my work is to be able to allow the deepest parts of me to seep through and allow people to see those parts that I usually would be unwilling to show. I feel that even within being depressed, people have their own interpretations with the darkness within them and I think that uncovering that darkness is truly finding beauty from the ashes.
