As I sit here and hold the blade my wrist
I can't help wondering how it came this?
I pick up my phone,
Debating to text someone or just be alone.
I wonder if anybody knows how low I really am?
I know for a fact that nobody gives a damn.
Slowly I pick up the blade and move it to my forearm.
I won't die tonight, but I do want to feel something besides numb.
A deep breath in and the blade glides right across.
Looking down I prepare to clean up any blood lost.
To my relief it's not too much, just enough.
I feel my head start to rush.
I lay on my back and feel the pain.
With all my might I close the blade and refrain from making it deep.
Then I close my eyes and pray that God takes me in my sleep.
