As I reach for it
Rummaging though my dresser
I think about when they did this
When they felt the same
Well, worse
When they felt the pain disperse
I hold it in my hands
Dragging my finger along its edge
My mind wonders if they did the same
If they thought of the consequences
If they had a clear brain
What did it feel like
I want to know
I want to understand them even better so
I position it right
Slash faster than it seems
I see theirs are deep
They really must have to bleed
I watch as it clumps up
Knowing forever
No matter how long I keep this up
I'll always feel tethered
No matter how long
No matter how deep
No matter the damage
Mine will never peak
Although it hurts to think
What such a soul could undergo and bear
It pains me more to see my scars are insignificant to theirs
