Close the blinds
shut the door
everyone is innocent
of the knowledge of
what happened in
my room.
Waited until everyone was asleep
Chose my blade
Couldn’t stop
Slice, Drip
Drops that looked like liquid rubies
Ran down my legs
I knew it was wrong
But I wasn’t numb for a moment.

First let me say how much I love your profile picture; it gives me so much life! Secondly l, I love how you were able to take a topic that is normally seen as taboo and write about and provide such a personal narrative. Your use of metaphor and imagery really helped me empathize with the speaker, and also made me feel as if I was there watching it happen. Keep up the good work; I look forward to seeing more of your work in the future!
Thanks so much! I just started writing and publishing poems on here as an outlet and never expected anyone to like or comment on them. Thanks for encouraging me.
