I do not believe that I can do it

I am sitting here with a blade next to

My hand, I am just thinking "screw it,

Cut, no pain or gain" but what shall I do?

Shall I keep this transparent, opaque, mask

Set upon my skin? Or let God tell me

"No, your committing a sin." It's a small task,

A few swipes, tears, then I'm done. I'll resume

To my small place where I fake emotion

And continue to wear that mask. It will

Be a blur tomorrow, concentration

On the positives, not negatives. Still,

The only thing that's keeps the negatives

My scars, and thus, patterns, repetitive.
