The End

Alone,
Covered in my own selfish sins.
With this knife, 
I will scratch out my flaws.
A new me lies below the surface.
A formless being.
A symbol of perfection.
The sting awakens my deepest reality.
Vivid colors burst into view.
The hopeless girl,
Will soon be no more. 
As I take this plunge,
Into an eternity of darkness.
