It's Okay To Relapse

Take a hit

And roll your shoulders.

Don't bother dodging.

Welcome the cut

With open arm,

And cry tears of joy.

You'll feel high

And life will be bliss.

All you have to do

Is take apart that pencil sharpener.

It's not a hard task,

And the euphoria is worth it.

Just a flick of the wrist

And tiny gashes appear.

Fall.

Get pushed.

It will pull you down.

Wear thick sweaters

And sleep carefully,

Reopened cuts hurt more

Than fresh ones.

Open yourself

To all your blade has to offer.

This is so dark I love it. I’ve felt all of this before so it makes it easier to relate, especially the pencil sharpener part. I think that adds great detail and imagery.

Thank you for liking it so much, but it's bittersweet to hear you can relate. Do you know what I mean?
