So familiar

The familiar sting as the water turns red

The familiar sight of my own crimson blood

The familiar feeling of running my fingers over my scars

The familiar sensation of breaking my own skin

The familiar numbness that removes everything else

The familiar sleepiness from the blood loss

The familiarity of slipping away and not being sure I'm ever going to wake up again
