I was never
A poet
Until the night you
Taught me the pain
A word
Can bring and now
These words are my only
Defense
And my sharpest
Knives.
My most deadly
Inflictions
Upon my own
Skin
And tonight I bleed out
For you
These words onto
a page
That you will never see

Quick note: this isn't about physical self mutilation, it's just about what it feels like for me to write about my feelings. Please don't see this as me trying to romanticize self harm.
