Numb

-

Confusion, depression, rage – all screaming behind her eyes…

Her pulse slamming against her skin.

She needs a way out…anything -

But she knows she only has one choice.

-

She holds her breath in anticipation

Of the cool blade against her skin…

As she feels the initial sting of self-inflict,

She sighs…her breathing slows, her heart beat rests –

She needs the pain to make her numb.
