put the weapon down

There have been so many times

Too many

That I have scratched at my skin

And imagined the blood flowing from it

Wounds of my own creatioin

Mind and body


I bide my time

-how many hours?-

Ruminating over what it would look like

How it would feel

To rid myself of some of this ugly pressure

That I feel


If I were to just release it in some way

Maybe I would find

That I could feel better


I have thought of the places that would be safest

The places not so noticeable

-I mean who needs to wear shorts anyway?-


But no, I know that this is worng

And I shouldn't do

What I dream to do

With the knife that is in my hand


So I put the weapon down

And it remains solely in my thoughts

Where forever it wil stay

In its drawer to lay
