10 single edged razor blades

By Anoblechicken

One to start mending me
9 more everyone will comprehend me

Two to start to numb the pain inside
8 more maybe it will subside

Three to stop my burning eyes
7 more I'll realize

Four to feel a little bit of release
6 more maybe I'll have peace

Five to subdue the hate
5 more I might begin to really appreciate

Six to really understnad and know
4 more and my true self will show

Seven to leave an unbridled scar
3 more i can't give up I've gone this far

Eight to keep my mind at rest
2 more blades i must molest

Nine to really inflict death
1 more for a final breath

Ten to say my last goodbye
carved in blood, no more light

    Cleverly done... good cutting poems are rare, and I can't say I like the idea of cutting, but this is definitely a good poem. Reminds me of a version of that Christmassy song with the doves... but more from a Nighmare Before Christmas perspective.
