She looked at me and pulled the scissors out of my hands. Her eyes drift towards my arms. She says she never trusted me with anything sharp. I have serrated edges I need someone to keep me away from high places They read my diary pages and look at me like my guts are hanging out She tells me I'm made of glass and she is getting tired of existing as an ambulance Sometimes I go out too deep I put so many holes in the ship I can't believe it didn't sink A zipper on each wrist, a body scratched like an old disk. I needed a life vest I needed bandages I needed sutures I needed stitches I wound up stranded in a doctors office where they asks how bad it hurt on a scale of 1-10 I came with THE SADNESS WAZ HERE etched into my limbs I scar like tree bark Maybe I never get better The nurses used scotch tape to put me back together
