My Red Hot Slashes and Me

 

Red hot slashes of pain rocket through my veins and down my face

These lines of pain are my fuel, my drive

They are the coal in my furnace of pain and anger

They are what keep me almost sane

What keep me from slowly dying like a malnourished flame

The red hot slashes are my life

They are me and I am them.

 

These red hot slashes are the continuous support that I so need

My lifelong cheerleaders streaming on with me every second of every day

The red hot slashes comfort me when I'm brutally torn apart by lost love

They egg me on when I'm yelling but not being heard

They love me when I'm unloveable

When I'm wrong

They are with me dawn  till dusk every single day of my turbulent life.

 

We are entwined in one intricate dance

We hold each other up

They course through my veins as I twirl with them slashing down my cheeks

We are partners in this

Through everything we are partners

My red slashes and me.
