The devil convinced me.

Laying
Music blasting
(Loud enough to make you bleed)
Billions of words running straight through my head
None of it makes sense anymore
The faint whisper heard in the jumbled up mess
Silently screaming yes into my welcoming ears
The pounding of my heart keeps rhythm with the passing time
I can feel the burn of the knifes stare
I can hear the razors begging for my soft, soft skin
The internal fight between right and wrong
The devil on my left
No angel on my right
He whispers sweet nothings
Telling me how relieving it would be
To press it so fiercely
Against my already scarred skin
A puppet hanging from its strings
Limp, weak
Its being told what to do
Im watching as this puppet grabs a knife
Its almost robotic
But its movements are as smooth as any persons
Im watching, in horror
As it mutilates itself
Carving deeper and deeper
Into its thin puppet skin
And I realize
This puppet
This puppet is me

| Amazing. The only word to describe this poem. I truly felt like it was me in this situation. |

Wow. This is a good poem. Sad, but good. I like how you used the puppet, which in the end is yourself. Look forward to reading some more of your work.
