Bloodless Killer

It's glaring at me
Shouting out vicious cruelty
Resonating snarls through the chambers of my brain
Festering in my thoughts like a desperate disease

It's slicing through me
Dripping blood to carve a sharp circle
Concise, final and infinite
Mocking of the sweat and tears left unknown

It's breaking into me
Swearing out numbers that spell "F"
Crushing my spirit in one fraction
Obliterating my childish hopes

So don't you dare tell me it's just a red stain on a page
It's not.
It's how the world defines me.
