Escape

80 3 3
                                    

The metal,

Slicing across my skin.

The blood,

Winding its trail down my arm.

The feeling of release,

as I pierce the skin.

The cry for help,

Which cannot be heard.

The pain,

Which I inflict upon myself.

It feels right,

I deserve the pain.

I dig deeper,

Deeper the wound,

Further I can bury my emotions.

I cry,

Tears for my pain,

Tears for my fear.

No one can help,

They don’t know,

I know though,

I know,

That they are scared,

Scared of what I am doing,

And what I have done.
