Longing

The word echoes in my head

Cut, cut, cut

Tears fill my eyes

I can’t take it

I hold the knife

I hate my life

My hands quake

My body shakes

I start to cut

The voice gets louder

Pain sears me

Yet it is nothing

I continue to cut

Until the rivers run red with my blood

Few see my pain

Few help me

Most act like they don’t see

Hands grip my shoulders

Shaking and shaking me

I open my eyes

Awaking from the depths of my mind

It was only a longing

Only a thought

But it could grow into more?

Will my longing ever end?
