The Act Of Cutting
blood oozes out of my cut
tears fall from my face
I feel the pain inside me
I wish to stop but can't
I want to tell but won't
darkness surrounds me
the knife pushes deeper
my arm goes numb
my vison is blurred
no one hears my cries
I drop the weapon
I clutch my arm
Something dies within me
I feel guilty
................
I feel sad
...............
I feel anger
...............
I feel relief
tears fall from my face
I feel the pain inside me
I wish to stop but can't
I want to tell but won't
darkness surrounds me
the knife pushes deeper
my arm goes numb
my vison is blurred
no one hears my cries
I drop the weapon
I clutch my arm
Something dies within me
I feel guilty
................
I feel sad
...............
I feel anger
...............
I feel relief

Too often relief comes at such a steep price.
Glad to see you posting again :)

Sometimes pain is the only thing that makes us feel alive. To awaken from the numbness of existence.

Great job. Relief comes at a price but it feels good when we can let it out.
