Self Inflicted Stigmata

Self Inflicted Stigmata

A Poem by Afayah

You wonder why I bleed?

Maybe because I hate myself.

            Maybe because I don’t know my purpose

            On this earth.

                        Maybe because life is not always

                        What it seems to be…

 

Maybe I just want

To be free.

Maybe…

 

            The sight of blood

            Excites me.

Maybe I’m dying inside.

Maybe I’m already dead or…

Maybe I’m just WOUNDED.
