Success and Failure
October 4, 2010
I take the knife
And push it in
Slide it across
And breathe with
The sting
Success
I got blood
A few drops on my skin
Failure
I got blood
I hate what I'm doing
I loathe the need
I breathe easier after
I have what I want
My punishment
The beauty of hurt
I hurt me
I hurt you
I kill a little every time
I die
Please kill me

This is not a critisisem, I just thought I aught to tell, end the end, death never helps. The only way for things to get better is to live them out. And don't dwell on the past. It is not that I have anymore insight, It took me my life up till now to figure this out. And I'm still leaning it.
