I want to scream

I want to cry

and i hate t admit it

but i want to die

I want to stop this constant hurt

To stop the voices in my head

To never again get out of bed

To stop cutting up my skin

like its paper

the blade a pen

but im an artist and i cant quit

every cut a step closer

to finishing my artwork

and once i finish the

lines soon fade

till little white lines

are all that remain 

and if i make a mistake 

i cut and cut

till blood covers up

anything that i made

and then ill start over

onto a clean slate

and when the lines heal

ill trace them sometimes

remembering the story

that lies behind each line
