Over To You Little Bitch

Raging Red nailed by reason to controlled anger
Shaded disappointment lies deceit corroding grey
White like the bathroom cleaner You swallowed

The smell of empty boundaries transgressed
Rusty razorblades oozing blood and manipulation
Distasteful taste of rotting matter mottled flesh

Colouring outside a medley of confused emotions
A striking demonstrative match incinerating
Abusing trust respect compassion care and shooting
Salvos like a paint ball onto pained grave canvas

Surely a polychromatic cry for helping with the
‘What’ the ‘Self’ the self-destructive saturation

But mind you this is a chance now one opportunity
To link from dot to dot your bleeding droplets 
Yours to own disown your brush to break or stroke

Many kind wishes to you, Kai Pashang Salehi Date: 6/2/2018 4:26:00 PM Of course, the severity of the condition is beyond my comprehension, and I'm sorry to hear that, but the panacea is ... more love... Kai Michael Neumann Date: 6/2/2018 3:38:00 AM Thank you for your comment. I disagree and that is the beauty of differences. Context and contingency are of course important. My experience with mental illness is that love goes a long way. Without boundaries and agency however, there is no chance in hell or heaven to get better.

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Date: 5/31/2018 7:18:00 AM Oh my. Powerful poignant ink. I'm faving this one. I've written on the subject, have been battling self harm since my teen years, have not cut in over twenty years. I feel for you (hard not to with this incredible penning), my piece is "An Ode" if you're interested. My heart goes out to your family, I wish your daughter ease of being. xomo Login to Reply
