Untitled: a poem about self-harm
 
**This is cross-posted from my blog. I hope that's okay; I really wanted to share it here.**

Take care

Use the utmost precision

A steel kiss, so soft and sweet

Look; it blossoms

A trail of red in its wake

Carving a path, a promise

To less anxiety, less sadness

Deliver me, I cry

And the blade listens

What's one more scar, added to a thousand?

A walking, broken mess

But for one instant, I touched God

This is a really great poem, and that final line really is really powerful. I love how it's almost calming to read despite what it's about too. Thank you for sharing. :)

It's serene despite it's graphic description.

It certainly is ok to share any creative work you want on here. :hug:
