TW!!! SELF HARM

Tears start to sting my eyes
The demon inside trying to flee
Its' claws through my skin
Bloodying me

Its' claws make marks on my skin
Elegant and neat
Never tearing to the world
Only bloodying me

The pain I feel isn't real
Only a small illusion
At least, that's what I tell myself
As it's bloodying me

Its' claws cut me, smooth as metal
Escaping to the world
But its' escape is obviously
Through just bloodying me

The cold, iron claws
Draw straight, neat lines
Marking up my skin as
The cuts start bloodying me

A single claw at a time
Inducing excruciating pain
But, the pain is only an illusion
Yet it's still bloodying me

My mother raps on the door
The demon turning feral
Trying to get as many cuts in
Bloodying me so much more

The cuts turn to tears
Precise turning to rips
Neatness out the window
As it continues bloodying me

"Are you okay?" my mother calls,
Listening through the door
Listening to the gruesome horror
Of the demon bloodying me

"I'm fine!" I choke out, through my sniffles
The sobbing stopping briefly
So my mother doesn't figure out
A demon's bloodying me

My vision starts going
Colors blurring together
The demon finally escaping
Stopping its' bloodying routine

I patch myself up
Lightheadedness taking over
The hallucination done
Nothing else bloodying me

I put away my razor
After cleaning it quickly
There never was a demon
And it never bloodied me

The whole, it was me
I ran blades up my skin
The pain was real and as you can tell
The cuts really bloodied me

Over twenty more cuts on my hip
All if them soon-to-be scars
And once they're scars
They'll no longer bloody me

And after a while
I know in my heart
This phase will soon be over

I'll regret the scars
The pain and tears
And all the time I've wasted

And the demon inside,
My fear and regrets,
My guilt and iniquity,
Will finally stop raging

But this phase will pass
Sooner than later
Before I take my life
On a whim

And nothing, ever
'Till the end of my life
Will I let something
Bloody me again
