Should I Use Words? Poem by Jordan Goodwin

Should I use words or the blade?  
Could turn my skin a different shade. 
Watch it as it all pours out. 
No more fear of doubt. 

Should I use words or cut the skin?  
Life is the darkest it's ever been. 
Can't feel anything but depressed. 
Feel so cut off from the rest. 

Should I use words or soak in blood?  
Fall out as I hit the ground with a thud. 
Everybody comes to see me,  
The newest dark tragedy. 

Should I use words or just cut?  
I feel like an abused mutt. 
I could leave like the birds. 
I think I will just use words.
