Artistic Mutilation

An artist am i 
Human flesh my canvas
Blades my brushes
Mesmorising red lacerations my monochromatic palette
Soul demolishing agony my inspiration
Anguished creativity my flesh eating demon

Until painless perfection

Horrific scars my magnificent masterpiece
Annihilating criticism my only praise from this dispassionate world
Initiating the relapse of brutal expression again

Two things. Thank you for reading my stuff. The other. Cutting is a coping skill. You don't quit. You find an alternative. Use your writing if possible and believe in yourself. The more kids I've worked with, the more angry I've become over a liberal system that tends to look the other way. God Bless. Vince
