Uncomfortably Numb

Birds chirp frantically
As the sun peeks over the
Distant horizon

I listen for a brief second
To the world awakening
Before drowning it out with pain

Passionate tears slide down to my headphones
Which spit thrashing notes of agony
Every beat beckoning the release of strained sobs

The edge of my bloodstained blade
Pinches my flawed legs
But it won't let out any blood

Time passes as melodic notes of anger
Flow into my comfortably numb mind
My unsteady hand perched above my wrist

I no longer have a reason to
Slash open my skin
I no longer require one

The blade dances across my skin
My hands shake with forced excitement
The corner dips in, breaking the dry epidermis

I don't have to wait,
Blood sheds, free at last,
My body feels uncomfortably numb,
But the starved blood is free at last!

Now, Sam, read that again.

Twist every word drenched with hurt
Around in your mind.
Think about it.

Do I sound okay to you?
