My Shiny Sharp Blade

As I stand here, I'm amazed of what I see.

I see my reflection and now I see the real me.

I see what I've turned to and what I've become.

I glanced into mirror and begin to cry.

So I slowly put my hand out and see my wrist.

Then I see my hand clutch into a fist.

Suddenly, I feel a sting,

That made me shout and scream.

Then I see blood rushing out.

It hurts so bad, it hurts so much.

But it's okay, because it took the pain away.

I see blood on the floor, blood on my hand, and blood on the blade.

Now I see what I have done.

And what I have made.

It seemed like the right thing to do.

Because I wanted to get over everything

And finally get through.

I wanted it all to end.

Then suddenly, I hear footsteps coming my way.

So I slowly wiped my tears and cleared my eyes.

I washed the blood of my hand

And hid the shiny, sharp, metal thing away.

Then I hid my hand behind my back,

And pretended everything was okay.
