Set Free

[alostandbrokensoul]

I cut the skin
and watch it peel
and again
I no longer feel.


I've lost all emotion
threw out the pain
get lost in the comotion
and start to go insane.

The blood is a doorway
into my past
with each cut of the razor
back I am cast.


To a time when I was happy
a time full of glee
when I didnt have to hide
when I could be me.

I forgot the present
there's nothing there for me
I start to get dizzy
and blackness is all I see.


I wake to the presnet
with voices all around
everythings bright
and I hear no other sound.


I wonder what happened
where I could be
and then I see my mother
standing next to me.


Her hair is all a mess
and her face seems rather old
and though she's happy for some reason
her eyes seem rather cold.


I guess I cut to deep
but the pain I didnt feel
I finally realize
that all of this is real.


People out there love me
so I should put away the blade
and stop my self from dying
because I have it made.


Im going to see a therapist
so as to help me
from hurting my self anymore
so I can be set free.
