Inviting Blade

The skin of the blade felt altogether too warm
and inviting on his skin: the sharp tongue of his sister
biting down, driving up their mother's harsh scowl
or classmates' scorning remarks – the world's words
he really shouldn't give a damn about
except he did, because he was only human
and whichever coward said words didn't break a soul
was wrong.
