~An Imbecile's First Lesson In Cutting~
By Zhee
[You sit in paralytic isolation in the blackest of chasms….what
are you contemplating? whilst you behold your keloid adorned scars, eclipsed
under the dark shadows of your tattooed arms…]
Forsaken in the ferment of rampant emotions… drifting into the abysmal
crevices of my bereft soul… why ask when you cannot discern…who
would know death if had not experienced it…..
[I regret I am intrigued…. I am but a drone for the mystification
that is etched within your mutilated skin… entranced by the razor
blade screaming within your hands… for my own barren hands lie devoid
of such feeling…]
So you come here to watch…? Witness me slit open my pain… bare
my wrists for sanctification… carve out another wound …one
for each act of sacrilege this defiled soul has endured?
[I wish I could see your soul… I crave for that vision …
but I can only see its shattered reflections in the rents you create…
only see its shards dissecting out of your wrists like the birth of a tormented
being…]
It is not the birth… it is the demise of my existence….streams
of glistening red is my reality….the pain ridden ecstasy of lacerated
flesh is my redemption…my sense of verity is not yours… we
live in the same world… yet you cannot see….
[I strive to … but I feel impotent…as if iron gates of my
imbecilic perception, deny me the right of passage beyond this clouded
vision…. yes, we live in the same world…. perhaps I am blind…]
No... you are not blind… I just see too much….

I really like the way you've given this a duality- the way you manage to give the reality to the pain and contrast it with the silliness of the act. great piece

The last line was as beautifully cryptic as the rest of the work.. many times "Eyes without light can see so clear, what those with sight, are blind to." Excellent write Zhee. -Michael
