Scrape the Surface
See the skin scrape the surface
not enough pain
same spot a little harder
one little droplet of blood
not enough pain
same spot even harder
now there's a good flow of red droplets on the floor
different spot even harder plunge the knife through the skin giving a little twist
now theres even more on the floor
different spot now at the foot
cut the nail scream with even more pain then before
no blood on the floor
wake up
cool sweat
figure it was just a dream
looking down at the floor you scream
your scared and now you know it wasn't a dream.
