I Want To Cut Off a Finger

Some cut gently. Barely making a line Up the inside of their arm Admiring the tiny red droplets That form along the line They are pussies. I want to cut off a finger Or gouge my face With a screw driver. It’s a face I hate. My father’s face. He is a pussy. Some say they hate themselves. I hate them They do not even know What hate is. I sharpen my knife. And go get my screw driver.
