Just a Slice
if they were all watching
would i slice my heart open
and bleed for them to see
care who chose to watch
who offered to help
or who walked away
if i were to bleed
from open wounds
alone in the presence
of pure silence
and only hear
echoes of blood
as applause
i'd still bleed
the same blood
from the same
slice either way
(just inspired to write)
