i don't really know what happens biologically in the give of skin and nerves and flesh against blade i know the chorus in my head- the cuts- bright, blinding slicing i could draw the lines over and over until it doesn't hurt anymore until i quiet the voice by the name of selfishness and a thousand other titles; pain hatred guilt i know the difference between a slit that can leave a scar and one that will disappear i know the pattern of the lines on my skin and the diluted red down the drain
