i want to cut myself
bleed away the honor student
slice and dice the yearbook editor
gouge the A+

boiling under concrete
perfection not the secret
or the problem
cinderella simply found a spider
and fell

a fairy tale gone rancid
a knight in the wrong direction
cogito ergo uno
'i think, therefore i am single'

i want to hurt myself
to keep myself
from hurting you

because diamonds can't be broken
can they ?
