Sharp
smooth
metal blade
lovingly caressing
my skin
taunting it-
making it long,
to come deeper,
to release the liquid pain
bubbling beneath its surface.
Hot and ready,
the skin trembles with desire
for that sharp
smooth
metal blade
to enter into it,
releasing the anguish-
so close to burning
breaking apart the molecules
set inside its cage-
unwillingly being mastered
by this desire,
so intense
so insane
it cannot be denied
by that sharp
smooth
metal blade-
a victim
just as much
as the skin
is a victim,
controlled by forces-
beyond all control-
beyond all reason-
beyond all conscious thought.
I wrote this during a time when I was hurting myself on an almost daily basis recently in hopes it would help me feel the action but not actually hurting myself.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
loved the poem tho.
