redness

17 1 2
                                    

I run the blade across my thigh,

causing me to feel that so needed high.

The redness blurs my vision,

as my whole body relieves the built up tension.

I wanna let out a cry,

from all the pain I've kept inside.

Tears stream down my face,

sadness is all I taste.

I watch the blood slide off my leg,

as my silent screams crowd my head.

I cut deeper trying to feel alive,

I ask myself, "Do I really wanna die?"

I do wanna live,

but I really want the numbness to end.

How can I get the pain to go away?

When will I ever feel the light of day?

When will I stop hurting myself?

How come no one wants to help?

Am I worth the love?

Can I just please be sent to the heavens above?

Or am I not enough?
