The familiar handle of wood forms to my palm perfectly
I feel the familiar lure of the silver metal calling to my skin
It’s not the blade whispering to me but a demon
Telling me to cut my skin then my vein and I’ll understand again
I fight this, pressing the pad of my thumb against the sharp edge
My blood flows from that point and the pain slices me
I drop the knife and hiss in rage that I let myself fall prey to this again
I drop to my knees and begin to pray, the only thing I can do
I am bought with the blood of Christ and in doing so I can be free
From the demons that haunt me and tell me cutting is the way to be free
I refuse to let them kill me in this manner, or any other
I look down at my arm and see my hand had let the blade scrap my skin
Barely a mark is visible, only four white lines, forming two crosses
My soul’s attempt at warding off the demons that were haunting me
I cry in agony that I could not stop myself from marking myself
Yet even as I cry, I hear the voice of mercy, of forgiveness
And I know that I have been forgiven by my Lord
And in this I find a way to forgive myself
...a moment of near weakness prompted this poem

just let the words flow no attempt to rhyme or w.e. jsut let my emotions flow to the words i love so deeply...damn now i gotta go write again lol
