The 40 Year Old Cutter
Each scar tells a story
Of unrequited love and sins
Some self inflicted guilt
A means to an end
Lore seems to view it
As a rite of passage for girls
My ritual has lasted decades
A friend in all life's hurdles
Underneath my clothing
Lies a map of blood and tears
Roads that lead to nowhere
Depressed psychotic jeers
Cindy
I
I
Am the blood
That stains my sheets
when
I
wound too deep...
I
Am the blood
That flows syonymous with grief,
guilt, release, escapt, fear that falls
on the floor in drops of...
Defeat
Because
I
Am the blood
Cindy
Necrotic Trophies
If you shake the box
What you will hear
Are pieces of stress
Blood soaked hatred
Detached from the body
These homeless scabs
Private sense of shame
Yet somehow mixed with pride
Cindy
Steel Freedom
Each slice equals freedom
Release from the cage
That mimics imprisons
Each day filled with rage
The irony is
With each slice I make
Am I closer to freedom
Or death by mistake
Cindy
