Pens and blades

September 7, 2023
By Anonymous

pink skin, baby soft

shiny metal, razor-sharp

What a deadly paradox

drip drop drip drop

I don't slit or slash or slice

I carve

There is a beauty in my pain

Which pours out

whether by knife or by pen

I will purge

All I know is that it can't hurt me

more than other people already have

and that makes all the difference

for reasons I don't understand
