Slice by Slice, Cut by Cut

Each cut goes deeper,
With every slice I make.
All the scars and memories,
Are fresh on my mind,
Even if they happened when I was 2
My mother has left me,
With horrible memories,
Of what see done,
And forced me to do.
I cut enough to make me bleed,
For bleeding is my way of explaining,
The way in which i feel,
The saddness and grief i suffer,
This saddness and despair,
Only tells me that my life is shit,
So then i cut away my fears,
To let my pain seep away,
Through the open wounds I make,
I never slice enough to kill,
Just enough to let my pain escape,
Until one day when I cut too deep,
And blood pours without stopping.

i like that you said that you never slice enough to kill. Dying is easy, it's living life that is hard. all the struggles you go through only make you stronger. life is what you make it. right here right now. sure the pain from the past is there, thats why i write, thats my release.
