An old poem from about two years ago.
In my hand I hold a razor
I let its edge touch my skin
I let its edge touch my skin
It's edge is sharp
Barely pressing I feel the sting
Tracing pictures on my skin
But where do I begin the incision
Where is the place where I want to bury the razors edge
Caught between right and wrong
I wonder do I dare go on
Should I take this razor's edge and stain it crimson red
Or do I let it sit rust and gather dust
The release I need I can only find at the razor's edge
Craving euphoric release I dare to fall and never come back
My emotions complicate what I am doing
Slowly becoming numb to the world I need to feel something
One, three, five cuts won't matter
No one will ever know
Not like anyone cares anyway
Time keeps passing
I keep debating
Is this what I need
Do I dare risk the transformation once again
I begin to shake
Tears well up
Here it comes like a .50cal round
Slowly I press the edge into my skin
Almost puncturing my flesh I stop
The razor makes almost no noise as it hits the floor
Broken I sit in confusion
My heart is racing
I've had enough I reach for the razor
It's edge to my skin I try to force it into my skin
I blackout
Never have I felt so alive
Everything I've worked for is gone with one cut
Revived I look at my arm and realize it was all a dream
Razor still in hand I think back to my dream
Is the guilt of letting everyone down
Worth a moment of euphoric release
I think so but the others won't see it that way
Will they see a flawed human being
Or will they see themselves
The side of them that they never show
My tears continue to fall as I struggle with the blade
It whispers to me so sweetly
It's thirsty for my metalic nectar
Demons hide within the blade
My demons
Creatures that want to deceive me with there lies into the darkness
There is no love in the darkness only hate
I've been there before so should I go back
My thoughts spiral in my mind
Lost and confused I choose to put the blade away
Only to come again another day
