Tired Artistry

I want to scream

I want to cry

And I hate to admit it 

But I want to die

I want to stop this constant hurt

To stop the voices in my head 

To never get out of bed

To stop cutting up my skin

Like it's paper

The blade a pen

But I'm and artist

And I can't quit 

Every cut a step closer 

To finishing my artwork

And once I finish 

The lines will soon fade 

Til little white lines 

Are all that remains 

And if I make a mistake 

I cut and cut

Til blood covers up

Anything that I made

And then I'll start over 

Onto a clean state 

And when the lines heal 

I'll trace them sometimes
