Forgot To Cover My Cuts? Poem by Rainbow Ostrich

I start the day by putting makeup on my face
I get dressed and go to school like every other day
but why do I have a bad feeling?
A feeling like I forgot to do something...

Could it be that I forgot to wear my clothes?
Or did I misplace my math homework?
I walk down the halls and put my books in there place.

'Hey, what are those lines on your wrists? '
It took you less then 10 minutes to tell the whole school.
The students were all buzzing about that crazy girl who cuts herself.
That's what I forgot to do, cover up my mistakes.

I go home and slam the door.
This cant all be happening to me
I look through my drawers and there it is.
Cold, pointy, sharp. You can still see some of the old blood.

I lay in my corner, with the blade in my hand
Gently cutting my arms until there's nothing left
Could I do this till I die?

The blood runs more and more as I do more and more cuts
The rooms starting to turn all red as my face starts to turn blue
I've gone to far this time, what have I done?
Am I ready for the next step?

Goodbye world. Hello peace.
