Self Mutilation

I'm gonna draw a picture
A picture with a twist
I'll draw it with a razor blade
I'll draw it on my wrist

As I draw this picture
A fountain will appear
And as that fountain flows
My troubles disappear

Tyffani~ Although your poem may seem harsh to some I see the creativity in what you wrote. I can also relate to the action here because I suffer from anxiety and depression from time to time. You may as well? Anyway I enjoyed the tight writing keep writing! Love Laura :) Merry Christmas!
