Seemed Perfect in Theory

Another depressing one, wrote it last summer.

A glimpse of hope, from a computer screen’s light

Reflects weakness, but seems the only choice tonight.

Just a simple blade, two to be precise

A little blood, doesn’t seem too big a price.

 

After all, I’m a stupid

Hateful kid, don’t I deserve this?

 

So I grab hold, and slice

Once, twice…

 

Blood drips, and flows

A feeling of guilt, grows…

 

Sweet relief enters, at the center of

Me, I’m free.

Enjoy, tell me what you think. :)
