The Urge

I want to feel the liquid running
warm and soft upon my arms
feel the sharpness of steel
cutting into flesh like a slaughterhouse...

They'll be no cries for help
no tears – on the outside
that this encrusted world can witness
only my longing, belongings – thronging...

Running steel into flesh
making rivers of nightmares where -
dreams are just a reality of life.
The sharpness justifies my sins
happiness – unhappiness tied together
with each droplet of liquid
there is a past, with each slash
a future yet to appear -
When this feeling is past
the normality regains assurance, and yet-
still deep within the urge beats silently

This is the high of unexplained emotions of ones reality from lingering between feelings and stagnant desires. Suicide is not in question but the ambition In feeling alive. So pain caused by cutting is the only evident of life.
