Wounds that lead to freedom

Life and responsibility cut into flesh
Leaving wounds forever to bleed
Death will not wait
It shall be taken instead

I will cut into my body
Let my blood spill out
Feel the life drain away
And be glad it will all be over soon

The gash has been set
Between the head and chest
I feel the blood pour down my body
Soon i will be set free

Life giving force draining away
The most calm i have ever felt
They will not find a tortured young man
Looking for the quick and easy way out

They will find a body at peace
A strange smile on his face
The look of a man who has finally found freedom
Found the only way to make himself whole again
