Blood upon the floor
When the world is trying to drag you out
 puling you any which way they can to 
 bring you from the hole your in
 to 
 saying we want to help 
 and your better than this
 and asking for your hand
 and still you take the tiny blade 
 that glints in the iridescent light
 and you watch the blood drop from your wrist 
 to splash upon the white linolium
 and you feel yourself escaping,
 you feel yourself let go, 
 turning over to the pain that consumes you 
 and you close your eyes and smile, 
 you revel in the pain beacuse
 your human 
 and the knocks on the door and the screams
 to let you in, 
 and another splash upon the floor. 
 and how many days, weeks, months, years
 have i sat here, 
 with the blood upon the floor
 and teh silence in the hall and the silence in the world
 and you smile because 
 your human. 
 and they try to pull you from this hole
 from the darkened depths of he.ll 
 but you fall in deeper because you can't be saved 
 they can't pull you out and your
 content to be
 to feel human, 
 and you smile, as another drop hits the floor
 and you feel yourself releasing, saying it's okay to be alive
 when it doesn't hurt you any more
 and you open your eyes and see the blood upon the floor and hear the
 silence in the hall 
 and you look at teh blade thats glinting in the iridescent light 
 the red a glistning red, and
 when you go to sleep, and close your eyes, you wish
 there was no blood upon the floor.
