blood stained arms, swollen face, red rimmed eyes. The blood flows freely from where the blade gashed my flesh. Slacker cut Not good enough slash Worthless a new slice appears. Each with red, ruby red, emerging from the depths of my sorrow. Each word rips into me, and I carve, carve the image i want to be, carve the pain i long to be free from. The crimson stains my skin, giving each laceration a halo of red.
