Blood drips, pooling up
a cut here
a cut there
scaring my arm
up and down
1 cut per pain
1 for my mom's low
1 for kyle, my misguided brother
1 for feeling alone
1 for someone too busy for me
1 for Brett's lies
thats 5 so far
more to come
1 for Erik
1 for Aunt Ginny
1 for the father i never had
that makes 8
to count would be endless
so cover it up
hide the hurt
do i end it now
or continue to fight?
