i Look At My Wrists

By Loserland

i look at my wrists now
pulsing, calling for relief
screaming at me
to open the pores and cells
begging for the mercy
of self-pity
they seem so sad
so broken and deformed
the blood inside
fights to run rampant
the wrists shake nervously
they are looking at me
i try to ignore them
i try to overpower their demands
to save myself for another day
until my resistance gives way
and the wrists win
