Scared Inside


Running, dripping, pooling, from my arm to the ground. The dark red drops, splash around. The stinging of the skin as my blade slides past, the stress relief that never lasts. That retched feel I endure, comes to an end behind closed doors. I wish I knew when things would get better, but for now..... I'm still a cutter.
