A Drop of Blood

It drips down thick and red

Scratching my skin

Something is inside trying to get out

Trying to release

its brothers and sisters

Because that lonely drop of blood

Needs more life

I help it with my blade

As I cut through

The layers of skin like an onion

My cuts now form letters of hatred

I close my eyes feeling

The cold kiss of death

And the pool of blood

From my legs to my neck

Drip Drip Drip .... i like the way you write the image of the flow, like needing "brothers"... did you know Nicky that many of the people who cut are women, many young girls and teens. What kind of society do we live in where for many there is seen future but misery and pain. This is unacceptable and just "looking on the bright side", is silly at best.

It's important to write about this from many angles ... you did well Nicky .. redzone

Yep that's a dark place. i hope your visits there are controlled or you have someone to reach out to. Hopefully you are using this writing as your replacement release. I seem to use it for my therapy sessions.

Now that being said whether you live there or are just a short excursion, your work is beautiful. The reason to cut can be released as you share your pain here or not. Thank you for sharing the dark site. I like to view and visit, but not a permanent place to live.
