So Tempting
I look down at the blade beside meand back at my unmarked arm
so tempting
to show them what they've done to me
but no
I can't
they wouldn't understand
what I was truly showing them
it would only get worse
but still
so tempting
but better still to stay unblemished
it would hurt
I tell this to myself
but still I don’t believe it
I know that it wouldn’t hurt a bit
all it is
is an excuse
to make myself
stop this train of thought
but it would hurt
still
so tempting
to see the looks
on their faces
when they realize
what they've done
to me
to my sanity
to what they call this life of mine
but still
so tempting...
