KNIVES

Horrifically humiliated 

depressingly disparaged 

fatally foolish 

nihilistic yet naive 

to the countless knives 

waiting to stick themselves

into my back 

carving out holes 

that would never close 


Killed repeatedly 

never learning the right lessons 

I had to die a thousand times 

before I finally learned how to live properly 

and sometimes 

I still feel like I'm dying 

stumbling on more knives

waiting to engrave themselves into my skin 

again and again
