Refuge

Refuge

A Poem by Kyle
"

Trigger Warning: Self Harm.

"
At night, that's when the demons take control of my mind.
Alone, alone with my thoughts.
They haunt me.
No rest, no, not for me tonight.
I must rid myself of these demons!
In the bathroom, I find my trusted blade.
My one true friend, my savior.
Dropping to the floor, I bring the razor to my arm.
A quick release and soon the demons will recede for the night.
The blade slices through my skin.
Soon I no longer focus on the emotional pain.
Instead my thoughts focus on the river of red that begins to flow.
Like water in a desert, a welcomed relief.
The demons fade away, at least for now.
They'll be back, and in the blade, I'll find refuge.
