Cries in Blood
Copyright, Emily
She can feel the frustration
The anger and stress
Building up inside of her
Threatening to overflow
And ruin her perfect image.
She knows she should cry
But the tears will not come
So she cries in blood
She tears her skin with a knife
Watching the crimson stream run down her arm
Watching all her anger and stress flow out
Feeling all the pain drain out of her body
As it is replaced by physical pain
Giving her something to focus on
She sobs and sobs in bright red tears
Until her body will allow no more
Then she slips back behind her mask
Hiding from the world
The world who knows nothing about her
Disconnecting from her feelings
So she won't have to hurt so much
And when she can't bear the pain
And she feels like crying tears
She cries in blood instead.
