trigger warning [self harm, suicide] *
A razor so deep in the flesh
dancing far past epidermis
to the dermis
and then finally the hypodermis
He was the happiest he had ever been before
He didn't have to worry about expectations
how people saw him
because his blood would dry across the carpeted floor
he hugged his friends for the first time
He smiled and laughed louder than before
because he had nothing to hide anymore
Their faces
nothing but dots and shapes
He danced that day and no one
said anything
how curious
he'd never had known if not for this blessed
He laughed at himself more than anyone else that day
The day came to end and he was so happy he didn't need to wake up tomorrow.
His blood dried.
