A Cutter's Request Poem by Kasi Smith

a cutters request
let me be
let me bleed
in and out
with and without
a cutters request
an ending quick and swift
a rollercoaster without an automatic lift
a little here and there
a release of sorts
not socially acceptable of course
a cutters request
its just a little pain
amongst the rain
its just who i am
not bricks in walls
its a fuckin' dam
it tends to leak from time to time
but its my world alone and
mine alone
... my request
