Inked

Cold, black seat Transfixed there. Mind made up My choice I’ll bare. Needle to wrist Sharp point sense. Pain is now Consequence. What is inked Ever glows. What it says? Come look to know.

Makes perfect sense to me (plus the title is a bit of a hint!) I think its quite clever. Well done!

Should I change this? I don't want it to seem like I was trying to do myself in- I was trying to describe getting a tat on my wrist...

I had to read it again to determine you were describing getting a tattoo. It's much clearer to me now. If you are interested in tattoos, take a look at one of my earlier entries titled "Skin Illustrations".

Suicide is no way to run away from your problems. A better day may be just around the corner.

Not suicide, tats! Wow, I didn't realize it sounded like that!
