Give me a blade
make it sharp
sterilize it with alcohol
and I would draw you my pain
with each slice of the knife on my thigh
I will show you my pain
because you don't understand
the depths of my pain
you can't phantom how it feels inside my head
you have no idea how helpless I feel
but the knife does
the blade does it offers me relieve
release
the blade knows
Give me a blade
a pen knife
the razor on a broken sharpener
and I will trace my pain
because you really don't get it do you
you really dont understand
how the cut, the pain
the enkephalins and
endorphins coming to aid in sweet relieve
better than any street drug.
makes you do it again and again
So give me a blade
and let me make a map of every
crappy relationship
every man who felt I was a toy
to touch
to poke
to prod
to dominate
let me carve a map of male hatred
of bullshit
of hurt
and pain
and more
pain
Give me a blade
damnit
let me bleed.
