This was a poem written out of pure frustration

Cut the flesh that surrounds the bone. 

Sever the veins and watch the blood flow. 

Bask in the pain the riotousness. 

Blessed are the ones with madness. 

Insanity is bliss. 

The world is quickly falling apart. 

The need for a kiss. 

Traveling blood goes through my heart. 

Welcome the cold deep in the darkness it hides. 

The mind's ravaged vengeance upon which everything abides. 

The curiosity has filled me up to capacity. 

Now with my own blood I'll paint you a tapestry. 

A picture of such cruel vile nature that to look away is impossible. 

True nature of human kind is a over all need. 

It may seem strange to you not at all plausible. 

We all have the need to bleed. 

I'll cut once and then twice. 

One rend in each wrist isn't that nice? 

A welcome change of pace. 

To die and leave no trace. 

I'll be forced into a self inflicted outrage. 

If not then the backdrop has been set on the stage. 

I'll not play these games or remember your names. 

There's no escape from the depths of hell. 

You'll never hear me yell. 

No more fun on the run I'm done can't you tell? 

If not to die alone as one man. 

I'll take as many with me that I can.
