My own skin betrays me
It hardens against
The blade
It refuses
Refuses to slice
The scar tissue already made
Determines
I will not get through so easily
And though I press
Harder and
Harder
The blade
Betrays me
It will not go deep
There will be no blood
Except a thin line that
Dries
Immediately
And all that is left
Is irritated red
Bumps
Akin
To
Mosquito
Bites
