Art
It’s so beautiful.

It’s mesmerizing.

It’s art.

And now I can’t do it

and I’m going crazy.

I want it so much.

Why can’t I just create one more painting?

One more piece of art?

Just one.

I don’t want to be a forgotten artist.
I swear to you

I really didn't mean to

But, now we've hurt you

Please

**** me, too.
Don't ask.
First, you feel the cool against your fingers.
     Let yourself calm down.
     Everything will be ok.

Next, comes reluctant defiance as you move closer and closer.

And then


Contact. The point meets flesh


Add a little pressure and adrenaline does the rest.


Your fingers twitch, you feel a scratch.


Now just watch, sit back. Relax.


You see the pure, white innocence


Soon, it's gone. Covered by red.


The white line turns crimson, and the shame fills your head.

But you don't care.


You continue to watch the mesmerizing show.


It's delicious and sick, watching it flow.


You feel the pain, you know it's there

     it's part of the experience
     there's no more hesitance.


Now the red runs down

It meets the clear water

And that beautiful droplet twirls and dances until there's nothing left to see.


And so you repeat.




And then





The defeat.
So many reminders

So many temptations

How could I do this?!

How dare I blow it all again?!

If it weren't for you

I'd be in shreds

Unfortunately

I still want to
I am determined
It will not cross my mind.
I will not be controlled
By a sliver of metal.

I am beautiful.
I am incredible.
I am worth endless amounts of love.
I will smile.

I am human.
I am strong.
I am not made of wood.
I do belong.

I am here for a purpose.
I know where I'm headed.
I will be a success.
Today I'll begin living.

I invite you to join me.
Together we'll find joy.
It's been such a long while
Since I've seen you smile.
Literally wrote this like two seconds ago. It's kind of a mess, but today's a good day. So I'm thankful for that.
You're talking
You're talking

What if I can't say?

I'm listening
I'm listening

What if I don't hear?

I'm moving
I'm moving

What if I want to stop?
Not sure about this one. Feedback?
My dearest savior,

       Do you know what you've done?
       You've kept me from his fun.

       I never thought you'd hear it
       But here it is from my lips.

    Thank you.

    I love you.

       I'll never forget
       The moment of freedom.
       I'll never forget
       How you kept me from regret.

     You never helped me love myself.
  That was someone else.

     You never helped me get through pain.
  It was another yet again.

       But, my dearest savior,
       You helped me forget the present.

          One minute and twenty-one seconds of silly conversation
          Results in hours of peace in my mind.

    Thank you.

    I love you.

Yours Truly.
