Small red lines, placed violently

upon the most sensitive and hidden

parts of your body, but are they

so secretive?

Your closest friends know about the blood

stained stained sleeves.

But to strangers, it's just a stain.

But you know it's a stain of a receding

smile.

You avoid the hot water from the shower

from scalding your raw wrists.

Because it hurts worse than when you

inflicted them upon yourself and you don't

want to hurt unintentionally because you

know how that feels.

You don't believe that tomorrow will

be better because you've been through

so many tomorrows, that you just

stop believing.

You stopped believing.
