I wrote this back in May of this year. I often write about self-harm, I'm not sure why but it's the topic that I can write best about when expressing emotions, feelings etc... Hope you all like!
Two little words
Only eight letters
Describe the anguish, the pain
The hatred
Tally-marks, painted in red
Lay so graciously, silently
Across the canvas
Counting the times
That the painted adds to their self portrait
Funny how two words
One object
So small, can take away the pain
While adding to it at the same time
Magic, almost
Magic and misery
Working together
To make the subject's life
A living hell
Throwing it away
Writing it down, ripping it up
Could prevent the pain
Pausing it, until it resurrects
And begins its horrific reign over the weak once again.
