If I cut open my veins
will my sorrow flow out with the blood?
If I smash my skull and brain
will I find myself in the thoughts that flood?

If I carve out my eyes
will they finally stop weeping?
If I tear out my tongue
will it finally stop speaking?

If I slash my face
will I miss the beauty I never saw?
If I ****** out my heart
Will I see anything but my flaw?

If I carve out my lungs
will I finally be able to breathe?
If I slash open my stomach
will I finally be able to eat?

If I banish all my thoughts
will I finally be able to sleep?
If I get rid of all the shame
will I finally be able to weep?
