Shhh …

Do you hear it?

The tearing of flesh

The warm feel of blood

Running down your fingers

Hear the blade

Taking the course of it’s own

The Slicing

Into your warm veins

Spilling intricate designs

Flowing down your arms

Counting the minutes you have left

Silent screams

Numbed pain

Flashbacks of entwisting anger and heartwrenched

Parents fighting

Can’t take it anymore

Will Ii fall?

Hearing the sounds of a drunken father

A disgrace in your family

Block out the sounds

Can I fight it?

Numb the feelings

Force fake smiles

Go on with life facing darkness

Slowy slipping into death’s shadows…
