Drip drip drip The blood paints the floor Pupils shaking at the sight of the gore Crimson crater diverging further Before you know it the news will exclaim ****** I guess it kind of is, me killing my former self By releasing my demons I gain insurmountable wealth Say what you want, I've heard it all before From "heartless ***** down to ***** ***** I know I'm better than those hurtful words you spew Yet they still hit home and taint my already clouded view The mirror is a trick and I don't believe it for a second You taught me not to love myself and with false data you reckoned The bandage on my wrist is precautionary at best I don't care who comments on my relapse filled quest Drip drip drip The red soaks through and everyone assumes "Oh she's the attention seeker" fills rooms Sorry I guess for wanting control It's never been my place and I never play that role I'm passive and submissive in every other aspect I need some grip on my world even if indirect The scars are tempting and the blood is addicting I always slice more, never restricting It stings like crazy but I have to push harder If the beads don't rise next time I'll be smarter Technique is key in the process Like a well thought out game of chess Drip drip drip I can't help but sign in relief Another successful session, however brief My pure fair skin bears more scars than it should I want to stop but I don't think I could Can't say I care at all anymore Waking up in the morning is in itself a chore Blissful sleep is my one escape Only in my dreams can a happy life take shape
