The Knife


September 24, 2015

I was so depressed.

I thought my mom was angry

About the pictures.

She didn’t understand

I didn’t want to send them.

I wanted the pain in my heart to end.

So I took a knife.

Physical pain is better.

Just to forget the mental pain.

Even for just awhile.

Maybe even forever.
