I can’t think, can’t breathe
Someone cut a hole in me
Break the flesh, make a mess
Wipe it up with tissue
Press, drag, shaking hands
Feels like nothing anymore
Can’t give up; worse than fags
Wipe it up with tissue
Watch the gap fill up with red
Starts to burn a little bit
Just before I go to bed
Wipe it up with tissue
Here’s one I made earlier -
Look at the size of that scar
Now get your scissors and
Score along the dotted line
Don’t worry if it hurts
You’ll soon find it’ll
Take away the pain you feel
And wipe away your worries
Now wipe away your worries
Yes they’re in the blood
Dark and thick, and sick; it’s good to let them out
And wipe it up with tissue

The last stanza is classic,
well done.

Wow...heavy stuff. Lot of passion in this piece and a lot of metaphorical blood letting (excuse the plagiarism). Love it, well done.
