Cut Along The Dotted Line

Along my skin lies a highway of hurt~a personal struggle to overcome the dark

It’s not good for me to be alone
The world bears down
Too heavy to hold
Under the weight of my sins
I crumble
Helpless and hurt
I fall to the floor
Trembling
Shaking
With fear and the cold


I cry as I bleed
So broken inside
It took a blade to my skin
To bring tears to my eyes
Overwhelmed by silence
My cry pierces the dark
A shriek of pain and remorse
Tears at my heart


I wrap my arms around myself
To keep from falling apart
A fragile, vulnerable thing at best
I lie damaged in the dark
Along my skin
Cracks run deep
A highway of hurt
A roadmap of what I've seen


Now
I’m afraid
I’ve lost my way
When I seek the pain
To lead me away
From what I’ve done
The weight of my life
Written on my sleeve
I long for a place
Above the hurt and the grief


I know in my heart
I lack the strength
To pick up the pieces
And move on with the rest
I need you now more than ever my friend
To try and make me whole again
