How it Starts/Ends

How it Starts/Ends

A Poem by Ashes
"

I just got out of a hospital once again. The results of my stay were two new poems. This one I'm not as confident in. Sorry the title sucks. I never actually came up with one for this...

"
It was suppose to be one time
One cut
Just a little bit of blood
Just to try
Just to see how think my stupid skin was

But it turned into more
Because one
Is never enough

Deeper
More blood
More pain

When that wasn't enough
Because it's never enough
It was time for more

Cutting is for when life is too much
So when the marks weren't enough
It was time for death with a capital S

Slicing veins
Taking pills
Waiting for the body to fail

How it ends
Is up to God
Up to fate
Up to strength
Up to you
