Slices of
Self hatred
Line my arms
Fractured hopes
Shine
In shades of crimson
Bloody desires
Are washed away
With salted tears
Life's final glimmer
Fades away
As my heart bleeds out
Author notes
5. I have a darker side. I love darker poetry. Write about depression, abuse, suicide, whatever misery you can dwell on.

I know several self harmers and I can tell you that this rings true to me of how they feel. They give up, so they take it out on themselves in a physical way, to get rid of their emotional pain.

Oooh!!!
A wonderful first entry!
I like it! I am guessing this is referencing cutting, which is a special topic to me because it's an addiction I am having a difficult time shaking.
I love the second stanza especially!
Thank you for entering and good luck!
