Veins

By Anabel Lee

Originally written: 12/05/97

Putting a razor to your wrist, thinking about the other side. Thinking of how people would react if you died. Not really giving a shit about ending your life just to get rid of the tears and pain.

As you push the corner of the blade down your vein, feeling all that pain...but not the pain of the razor, but the pain of the assholes who have hurt you in one way or another.

As blood drips from your wrist to the floor, something you've done before feels new. You drop the blade and catch a glimpse of your vein...

A tear drops from your eye, but you will never let them see you cry.

the end
