My Mind Whispers

You'll ruin your life if you start. My mind whispers, As my hand picks up the cutter I always bring, I pray a silent, unheard prayer, As I shut out the buzzing if spring And slice. This is stupid! You need to stop! My mind whispers, As I drag the blade across my arm yet again, Watching red start to stain silver, As I try not to hiss in pain. Stop, I say! My mind whispers, As tears shimmer yet don't fall from my eyes. They made my eyes seem prettier, sparklier, But I know those sparkles simply are lies. NOOOOOOOO! My mind whispers, As blood gushes from my throat; As my heart stops beating over and over Having grown tired of keeping me afloat.
