Cut
By l mo
Intricate patterns cover your arms
All a beautiful pearly tone
Criss-crossed from your shoulder to your wrist
Some still fresh and red
New ones added frequently
Intersecting randomly
No two look alike
On your right arm lie the words "Fuck life"
And "Life sucks" on your left
Covered by more pearly scars
On your thighs and around your hips
More scars lay hidden, with the same pearly tone
You're ready to add to the design
And pull out your Exacto knife
You cut yourself
Swift and deep
And feel the comforting pain
Your friends know your secret
But they won't tell
They do it too
Down the line
Across the block
You cut every which way
Beautiful patterns cover your skin
To help the hurt that lies within...

Yeah, well written, its understandable, I find cutting and cutters highly annoying more than anything else. Get it out of your head, as it will provide nothing but irritation.
