Momentary fits of numbness & insanity; I didn’t chose this state of mind, it was placed upon me. Why was I given this life, this heart, this mind; Why was I given this hell, these burdens that aren’t mine! My heart gets heavy, my eyes slide shut, The feeling begins; I wish it was easy not to cut. Just the thought of releasing my pains Sends adrenaline surging through my veins. To cut open my wrist, to see the blood spout; I don’t know why, but sometimes it’s my only way out. I fight it off, the razors & scissors fly across the room, But sometimes I wish I was 6 ft under my tomb. My pain becomes too heavy to bare, That not even the idea of love is a care. Take my pain away from me; take it all, But no one else could carry this; I don’t know how I stand tall.

It could have ended really badly. None of my cuts have ever required a hospital visit before -not even close- but the scissors were coming down so fast against my arm, I have no idea what made me throw them across my room at the moment they were about to make contact with my skin.
