THE SAGE'S DeCLASSIFIED SURVIVAL GUIDE (FOR DUDES AND DUDETTES)

Bleed

Heart thumping,
blood racing
piece of silver about
to pierce the surface of my skin
unsettling ritual
done in the night
a fuelled desire, numb need
to actually feel something
bleed
rain crimson
slice, once twice
a few times turns to many
the need to hurt slowly
fuels this ravage habit
trembling yet finding
peace within every slit
bleed
carve signs upon
the surface of your skin
anything to make the pain go away
although it may be for a short period
mere second
at least these are points in time
you can actually
see specks of light
at the end of the tunnel
and feel alive
