Cutting Demonstration

I cannot remember yesterday
It is a blur in my mind
All I know is there is constant pain
The source I need to find

The cuts are standing out
Against my skin that is pale
They are deep and red
I didn't not reach death, how did I fail?

I remember little bits of the past
I remember grabbing the blade
I remember putting it to my wrist
Then all the rest fades

I see the blood everywhere
I see light far away
I feel pulled to leave
I don't want to stay

The night is black
This time I will get it right
I hide away from everyone
I don't want to do this in their sight

Down my wrist to my elbow
Following the vein the whole way
The blood rises to the opening
Down my arm the blood now strays

Gasping against the pain
The light returns to my eyes
I can see now what is there
I can see past all these fallen lies

My soul drifts to the light
I am released from my body of shame
The cuts still bleed
But I can no longer feel the pain

Going into the right
This suicide of complication
My body of torment is dead
This is a demonstration

I slit my wrist
And felt my blood flow
This self-harm is at an end
All this you now know
