Can I Go Deeper?
For the first time
I sat where I have always felt
On the floor in a corner
Hidden amongst the mess
I crawl up into a ball
Wishing to disappear

I sit up to see if I can face the world
Back against the wall
I look out at the mess of my life
I start to stress
Then I go crazy
I lose it

My wrists are itchy
Need to itch them
I start to scratch
Turn red, think about what a knife would do
Search the room, only have a safety pin
Scratch but not deep, maybe if I stick it in

Poke my wrist can�t feel anything
Keep going, just barely breaks skin
I continue, still doesn�t hurt
Now I have a circle of holes
And all I think:
Can I go deeper?
