Poetry: Self harm

by ktarcus

Created on: July 09, 2009   Last Updated: September 10, 2009

How much more
I was bored last night so I cut myself
It hurt! but in a pleasant sort of way
when I opened my eyes this morning
the darkness had gone away.

I will cut myself again tomorrow
to see if my theory is right
that the pain and suffering it brings me
is the reason for the shining light.

If it is I will highly recommend it
to my friends inside the dorm
and perhaps if we do it together
it will lead to some reform.

The matron may grant us a pardon
and stop all the beatings by guards
and once more we may sit in the garden
instead of being tied in the yards.
