Slice slice slice All over my arm. Slash slash slash All over my thighs Cut cut cut All over my hips Making Roman numerals all over my skin Hoping it will silence the voices within Letting the blood run down and around Hoping agony will drown and run aground. My skin will mend My bleeding will stop But scars will remain Penned onto my heart.

Roman Numerals
Slice slice slice All over my arm. Slash slash slash All over my thighs Cut cut cut All over my hips Making Roman numerals all over my skin Hoping it will silence the voices within Letting the blood run down and around Hoping agony will drown and run aground. My skin will mend My bleeding will stop But scars will remain Penned onto my heart.
I, myself, do not cut or inflict self-harm. But after meeting so many people who do, I wrote this for them in January of 2016. It's my tribute, my love for those who do.
