Leaving the Comfort Zone

The blood, it slithers down my arm
The blade too sharp to miss
The crystal tears found in my eyes
To hide the art of bliss

The swollen battered bottom lip
Surrenders to the chew
The new found blood leaks to my tongue
The metallic taste is new

The crimson drops of scarlet blood
Falling to the ground
The darkened stains on carpet floors
The darkened scene around

The blinds are shut, the light is closed
The radio blares the song
The blade, it slips out of my hand
Make cuts just one inch long

The swollen bumps upon my arm
The scars scattered in place
The cries of a little girl in mind
Too weak to win this race

A distant sigh escapes my lips
My vision starts to fade
The beads of sweat cover my cheek
From this mess of me I've made

Before I leave this comfort zone
Before my conscience dies
Leave a note written in ink
Of the constant hopeless tries

Tell the world of all the pain
My heart has left me in
Teach them to run far away
To not commit my sin

With a final breath, my corpse goes limp
My head lolls to one side
My sleeves rolled up, my blade on site
For once I do not hide

Say goodbye to mom and dad
To my brother and my friends too
Say goodbye to the one I wanted
So badly to say 'yes' to

Maybe with my corpse in mind
And tears upon one's face
Society will chose to better this
In a much more urgent pace
