A red line

Needed to get feelings out

I watch as a simple red line wells up on my fine white skin
I put it there
I watch it drip and swell
It doesn't hurt, not really.
You made me do this, you caused the line
If I die, I want you to know that I blame you and only you.
The line grows as I flex my hand
The only thing that ever hurt was you rejecting me
This line, this pretty red line, can't hurt me
It only helps

[The Water Queen]

Awe the showing of self harm for pain someone has caused them. This was intense even though it was only a few short lines. The way you show the blood without calling it blood its amazing and causes the magery to be much more intense. I loved it! Great poem.

coming from an ex cutter i can completely relate to this poem
great work here on expressing something that not everyone can understand

[Wake Up!]

Beautifully haunting. I actually enjoyed the simplicity of the format. Job well done, keep up the good work.
