Broken Thread and Severed Fabric

I'm starting to see my wrists differently

Tears will fall

My skin will cry

Making an easier path for the blade

To cut through the fabric of life

Soon those blue life lines

Will burst

Run red with agony

Blot out life with pain

In that simple moment

Time will stall

My tears will dry

And the only thing that will exist

Will be pain

It will blot out everything

Almost too excited to try

To experience what it might feel like

And own the label

Fulfil the stereotype

Instead of a doctor

I'll be the patient

Instead of a stitch

I'll be the cut

I didn't want to end up this way

Curled in a dark hall

A pit of despair

Trying to live free of the lie

Curious to know

Just how much blood can flow

My wrist looks vulnerable

Innocence stained red

The more I stare

I see blue going red

The more I glare

I see scars appearing there

Like severed stitching

My sadistic scars

Carve a new path in life

Like broken bonds

My barbaric bloodstains

Cut down life

That's hanging by a thread
