The burning, the bleeding, <br />This is what comes with every slice <br />The relief, the satisfaction <br />That’s what comes from the knife. <br /> <br />Those of you who don’t know <br />May call me a freak <br />My silent cry in the night <br />You may say that I am weak <br /> <br />With every cut that the razor brings <br />My blood pours to the floor <br />A subtle satisfaction <br />I feel it I see it everyday <br />The scars that just don’t go away.<br /><br />Megan Lutz<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-cut-of-releif/
