For years I painted my skin with a blade

I bled out in hopes of feeling something

As cuts paint my skin I sit in pain

Pain so deep it replays every night

It consumes me

It eats me alive

It burns

As cuts painted me

Pain painted my thoughts

Covering them in pools of darkness

 the darkness that gets darker by the day

Cuts of thoughts spilling from each side

scars that paint my body

Scars cover the most gentle parts of me

Scars that hide behind the sleeves of shirts

As I add more to the story

The story of life

The story that needs an ending

The incomplete story

Waiting to be completed
