Poking at a wound
Defying life's natural healing
Flying when the blood flows
Bizarre sense of release
Watching
Smelling the iron
Seeing the stain on white satin sheets
No pain
Clean cut
Razor sharp
Virginal penetration
Slightly dizzy
Nauseated
But free
Pulse in my eye
Throb in the wrist
Complete body wave
Being understood
In my own mind
That's what matters
Minutes break from my own life
Which still remains in tatters

"Defying lifeā??s natural healing
Flying when the blood flows
Bizarre sense of release"- these are my favorite lines!
"Being understood
In my own mind
Thatā??s what matters" - it really is the most important; to know yourself, to understand your needs. Many times, your opinion has to be the priority, and not others opinion. Well done!
"Being understood
In my own mind"
I think it is hard to understand people sometimes, and hard to understand ourselves all the time. The reason we do things, the way we do them, sometimes letting our heart lead not our head. Brillant-bookshelf going now. God I just sounded like yoda.
