I used to cry when I’d cut I wish to die, so what? Nobody would care They’d learn to bare I drag the blade against my skin And wait for them to fade No one comes to my aid I wish to be thin My head spins I’m letting the demons win I regret my life So here I am with this knife I’ll miss you It’s cutting through Bye bye, world I see the light My whole life is swirled I’m taking flight

Taking Flight
I used to cry when I’d cut I wish to die, so what? Nobody would care They’d learn to bare I drag the blade against my skin And wait for them to fade No one comes to my aid I wish to be thin My head spins I’m letting the demons win I regret my life So here I am with this knife I’ll miss you It’s cutting through Bye bye, world I see the light My whole life is swirled I’m taking flight
I wrote this in 2018, I believe, and I was very depressed at the time. I still look back at this poem even now.
