A silent scream erupts
From my raw throat
As the blade pierces
The tender skin on my wrist
Blood pours from
The fresh wound
As the world spins
Creating a hallucinogenic state of mind
...it isn't enough
My body begs for more
While my brain cries for me
To end the torture
I've placed upon it
Soon my hands are covered
By the crimson liquid
And my nose burns
From the rusty stench
The world ceases to swirl
And, as I close my dark eyes,
A smile forms on
My cracked lips
...it's over
Author notes
I wrote this when I tried to sleep again...It turned out well for once.. though I'm starting to realize I don't have skills in writing poetry.

i had no idea you were (are?) a cutter... I can' believe you never told me! this is a beautiful poem, in all its angsty, blunt truthfulness.
as for your title, i think that (given the connotation), 'stigmata' would have worked by itself. you are amazing, sweetie.
