PLEASE HELP ME WHILE I'M STILL HERE

He tears up his skin

He plasters his face on a sign that reads:

"PLEASE HELP ME WHILE I'M STILL HERE"

He is not surprised that no one responds

He lacerates as much of his soul as is possible in such a short amount of time

He picks his face so hard it becomes deformed

He strikes the mirror he can't recognize himself in

He picks up the glass and puts it to his chest

He breathes in pain and blows out relief

He brands an image of a dog on his arm symbolizing all the times he's been called a "bitch"

He imagines an easier life but knows it won't come

He impales his forearms with pins, pushing them as far in as he can without hitting anything...

He wants it to be slow

He slices his legs with a razor, then a knife, then a hand saw so deep you can almost see the bone

He limps over to the calendar that marked every day it happened

He rips it down and assaults the wall

He is pist to realize his hand breaks before the wall does

He slashes his palm so now every little movement brings tears to his eyes

He wishes he hadn't done that because there's still more work to be done

He lights a belt buckle and whips himself in the back with it

He hears a knock on the door and darts to another room so as to not be seen

He runs through the broken glass and gives out a silent wail as the pain shoots

He listens as the person knocks steadily

He is glad to hear the person walk away

He now does not know what to do

He looks around for anything else he can mutilate himself with  

He goes to a door and throws himself down the stairs

He sprints back up and throws himself back down several times

He's waiting to break his legs or neck or shatter his spinal cord

He is mad but not surprised that it doesn't happen

He looks himself over and hasn't a clue why he hasn't gone yet

He stabs himself in the chest but unfortunately misses what he was aiming for

He lies bleeding on the floor wishing he hadn't done it

He is too late...

The person at the door returns to help him while he's still here.
