the release of unkind words. the release of horrible events. the release of pain. so easily achieved with the swipe of a blade. feeling all the bad pour out of the perforation. watching it glisten as it slowly finds its way down your body. unwilling to accept the clotting process. so again the blade finds its way to the same release point. again and again it pierces the skin. when you feel that you are finished trying to distract yourself from the hell-hole that is your life, the feeling of peace has taken over with the effect of light-headed euphoria. you continue staring at the elegant beauty of liquefied life. mesmerized as you watch a little of your life slip away. not sure whether to be scared or happy, you settle for content. knowing that you found your distraction. knowing that maybe now you can look at life with a calmer head space. just for good luck, you let the blade slide across one more time...
