I want to scream and I want to cry.
I hate to admit it but I want to die.
I want to stop this constant hurt.
to stop the voices in my head.
to never get out of bed again.
to stop cutting up my skin,
like it's paper and the blade a pen.
but i'm in love with art and i can't stop
every cut is one step closer to finishing my artwork.
once I finish, the lines soon fade
until the little white lines appear
and if I make a mistake,
I'll cut and cut
until blood covers it up
then I'll start over,
on a clean canvas
and once the lines heal,
I'll trace them
again
and again
