Blade

Feel the metal sticking in
Slicing vessels slitting skin
Razorblade slashing fast
Do it deep the pain will last
Open wounds and open veins
This is my anger this is my pain
Red spurts shoot out at me
Watch me drip and pour and bleed
Chopping, grating at my arm
This is freedom not self harm
Let me slash and let me bleed
Let me burn and I’ll be freed.
