Bleeding

Those hurtful names,

Etched on your wrist with a razor,

Each and every one has its’ own,

Deeper and deeper they get,

This one won’t stop bleeding.

They found laughter in your pain,

Whatever you did,

It was never enough. Nobodys listening.

No escape. No Sanctuary.

No rest from these wicked games.

Scarlet life seeps from your wrist,

Running the race of life, but

Coming to an early finish.

You fall and there you lay,

Bleeding.
