I am, I don't, I do

I drag it across my leg
I watch it turn to red
It hurts a bit
But I am fit
To deal with this pain, I am

I watch as more red comes
I sit and I am done
The world doesn’t matter
All the worthless chatter
I don’t see the point, I don’t

The red has stopped coming now
I sit and think about how
Without a thought
As the first cut clots
I do it again, I do

I’m sitting now in the hospital
What I’ve been doing is despicable
Some people care
I gave them a scare
And now I’m stuck here, I am

"I want a life that sizzles and pops and makes me laugh out loud. I want my everyday to make God belly laugh, glad that he gave life to someone who loves the gift, who will use it up and wring it out and drag it around like a favorite sweater." -SN
