freedom

her pure white skin

dyed with blood

and it had been

her first cut

 

she sat in the bathroom

music blasting through her earphones

her mind cluttered

she craved the security of death

yet she wanted to live

 

no one would know

she would mask the ache

keep a straight face

 

she knew her life was cut short

with that first stroke of the razor

 

that first cut

turned her into a down spiral

of gloom and terror

a mixed drink

of torment and limitations

 

but no one care

she just wanted one thing

she wanted to be free

 

and she got her wish
