PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

It started so innocently...

Just 3 small, 

small cuts,

placed carefully upon 

my left wrist.

And I figured it would

just be that once.

But I was wrong.

That was almost 5 weeks ago,

and I have kept going.

Gone a couple days

without making a mark,

but then I'm back again,

somehow...

Somehow I've gotten a blade

back into my hand,

I have cuts in places that

I would never have thought

I would ever have a cut!

I cut here,

then I cut there.

I don't cut deep,

I stay on the surface, 

too scared to go deeper,

and, frankly, I don't need to yet!

Oh what have i done?

Why did I do this?

Now... I don't know how to stop!
