Crimson Tide

I stare at my wrist
Where the criss-crossed scars
Have converged into one
I pick up my razor
And dwell/think about bringing it
Out of its retirement
So many choices
So many wrong ones
But my mind isn't fully functional
Warped by anti-depressants
That don't work
Except at stealing money
I add two more cuts
Putting scar atop scar
With a sudden idea
I pull my sleave up
Bring out an exacto knife
And draw it against my bicep
Cutting downwards
I gasp and shake
Closing my eyes
A lone tear, drifts out
Like a diamond
The only beautiful thing for miles
I measure it
A four inch cut
Proud of my morbid 'accomplishment'
I watch in fascination
As the blood trickles down
And merges with my wrist
In a haze... I think
Its the converging of two war-torn nations
My sleeve rolls down
Staining it... crimson
I pull it up
And dab methodically
Like a robot at my cuts

| I think that most people don't have a clue what goes through the minds of people that are depressed, and about to kill themselves. If you were speaking from experience, or a friend's experience, it must have been a difficult poem for you to write. Job well done. |
