These Cuts

By horrorchantenshi

These cuts
are like roots plaguing my skin

Growing more and more

across every last peachy

inch of my flesh.

 

These cuts

are like little mouths

Telling me more more

until I can't stop.

 

These cuts

remind me of being a failure

and how much the want to die

is becoming a reality.

 

These cuts

are ruining my once

soft, smooth skin

 

These cuts

are going to be the end of me.
