Emotional Race

Emotional Race
By: Jakari Hudson

I look down 
then I look up again 
why do my feelings always have to win 
I pick up the blade 
and stare at my wrist 
the scars would fade into the mist 
I cry for help 
but it's all in my head 
I couldn't seem to notice that my wrist were red. 
hours turned into days 
& minutes turned into hours 
the blood rushing through 
will soon be sour 
I can't stop crying 
I'm praying for help 
one more cut 
is a huge step. 
I put the blade down 
& look in the mirror 

the way I'm feeling now couldn't be any clearer.

I feel as I'm strong 
but there is no where I belong 
I am a outcast 
a shadow 
my voice is never heard 
my life is censored
My words are blurred 
I try to stop 
but my mind keeps racing 
trying to get to the finish point
without even pacing.
