Ode to the Blade

The effects of self harm

I
That sweet metallic edge
That clears my thoughts
My closest friend
Frees me from everything
Yet is so unforgiving

II
Draws the essence and shows
That I am still alive
And I can still feel
It shows me I am real

III
It brings freedom
Like flying far
From this wretched world
Yet only brings judgement
That brands all who dont fit in
And condemns them to a premature end

IV
It calls my name
Likethe wind and sea to a sailor
Make an unnatural welcome
It binds my body with icy chains
And twists my mind and will
To believe it can relieve all my pains
