Cutting

The corner of the room
Is as dark as night itself
There is where I find my comfort
There is where my pain will be rescued

For in this corner is a table
And on this table is a knife
On this knife is many bloodstains
From previous actions that have occurred

Slice once, it stings only a little
Slice again, ahh the pain is such a relief
Slice a third time, oh watch how the blood comes out

DRIP!
DRIP!
DRIP!
Oh watch how the blood comes out

I Feel Your Pain. Such An Action Rescues Myself From My Own Dimishing Life. The Pain Is Such A Releif And So...Beautiful, Sometimes. Something That Keeps My Mind Away From The Dangerous Topic Of My (They Try To Say Not-) Broken Home. Powerful. Though This Action Truly Isnt The Right Way. Love This. Love. Jese
