Relief



Slowly watched as the blood dripped down
What a beautiful sight
To feel such relief

I've been stressed out lately
Don't know why
But this helps me deal
As I let out a cry

Some say it's for attention
Some feel confused
Some think I'm psycho
But who really knows?

It's stupid when I think about it
Promise to never to do it again
But I know I'm lying to myself
When I swear to put the knife down

Slowly watched as the blood dripped down
What a beautiful sight
I've done it again
Yet I feel such relief
