Blades

I've got blades hidden

In my room

I carry them with me

Wherever I go

Because knowing they are with me

Seems to calm me down

When I'm close to breaking apart.

I've got blades

On my mind all of the time

When something bad happens

Or I'm overwhelmed with stress

I bring out my pain relievers

And right as I feel the sting

Of metal slicing my skin

I can't help but smile

A sick smile.

My mind is ill

And I'm trapped within it

My thoughts center around

The blades that bring me

A daily dose of relief.

My mind is a battle zone

Where either I win

Or the depression wins

Every scar

Is a battle

That I've lost

And so far

I've lost too many

To even count.

My blades are

A daily reminder

That I'm not okay.
