***possible triggers for those suffering from depression, self harm, and suicide***

I think I am dead.
I'm so corroded inside
from the horde of demons.
Numbness is my world:
no pain,
no happiness,
no tears,
no anger,
nothing.
So tears appear on my skin,
the blood
drip
drop
dripping
on the floor.
I don't feel,
but I can see.
See the redness pooling
and I know I'm alive,
for corpses don't bleed.

The tears only rip along lines
out of sight from the world.
Some people,
they bring flesh to metal along their wrists,
but it's a beacon.
A scream into the void for anyone,
anybody
to save them from themselves.
But I know,
the void doesn't scream back.
