Cut Poem by Alice Silvers

Cut



I am cut
I wonder how I let it get this bad
I hear footsteps
I see my blood drip
I want to go deeper
I am cut

I pretend I can control myself
I feel my heart pound
I touch the blade
I worry I won't be able to silence the monster within me
I cry out as I feel the blade slice in my wrist
I am bleeding

I understand I must stop before I go too deep
I say just a little deeper
I dream in scarlet
I try and hold back
I hope I can stop in time
I am sinking

I was hooked, reading your words feverishly, like i couldn't read it fast enough, I needed to see it to the end...... I have to say you are a rare gift, I gobbled it up. your writing is impressive.
