razor

laying in the scum infested shower,
not moving as the blistering water
smacks my chest.
the blood soaked razor in my hand
as I cut myself.
bleed motherfucker, bleed.
I have earned this pain.
dirty.
as the blood pours from my self inflicted
wound�I feel cleansed.
why did I let it happen?
did I want it?
I lay the blade on the tub and
watch as my blood runs down the side.
this is my penace
and yet I wonder what I did wrong.
will it ever end, when will I have paid
for my sins?
