"You can do this"- I
tell
myself
I gasp for breath,
I am amazed and dazed,
Let me
rephrase
-
"You can do this"- I
lie
to myself,
(Oh, what a compulsive liar I am.)
I rush to my desk,
And my hands
wait
to be knighted.
Take it, feel it- and
run
it
D o w n,
Your beautiful wrists,
What a
shame
of your personhood.
My desk has seen the unabashed,
People call me a
******
,
People call me a
maze
.
My mind sinks in turmoil,
And my hands seem like
Calpurnia's dream,
It's
terrifying.
But beautiful.
Self harm is never supposed to be glamourized.
