Cutting
December 14, 2007
My skin separates leaving a sea of
blood, flowing down my left arm.
I smile 'cause i know I'm alive.
I have got yet through another day
of this. . .
My mind wanders to a blank,
leaving my eyes to draw back.
My breath shortens to a gasp.
I'm ready for my second cut.
Tears roll down my cheeks.
I feel relieved once again,
marking yesterday's spot. . .

"I smile 'cause I know I'm alive"
This is the most powerful line, I think. I took a survey on some self-harm website, and when the question asked how it makes you feel or something, that was my answer: alive. Don't stop writing.
