I want to cut

I want to bleed

I want to escape the pain

I feel crazy

I can’t handle

Emotions pouring over me

Like liquid flames

I hurt

I hurt

I wail

I moan

No one hears me

No one knows

I am unreachable

In this place

I cry

I weep

I beg

I plead

I cannot get away

Someone help me!

I am worthless, helpless

I am a fool

I deserve to be eaten by worms

I want to bleed

I want to cut

I want to feel real pain

I am tired

Weary to the bone

All I want

Is to go home

Someone help me!

Please make it stop

PLEASE!

It will pass

It will pass

I know it will pass

It always does

And Peace awaits

A soft purring kitten

Wanting long strokes from my fingers

Pushing into me

Prodding me forward

Making me want to live

One more day

Even just one more day

And so I choose to live

God help me

I choose to live
