I Want… I Need
I want to cut.
I want to bleed.
I want to give up.
 I want to surrender.
I want the pain, the heat, the prickling anger of jangled nerves.
I want to focus, calm, soothe my mind on the sting that radiates far beyond the wound.
I want clamoring urgency that draws all priorities to my arm… my skin… my blood… sending every other pain to blissful oblivion.
I want to surrender.
I want to give up.
I want to bleed.
I want to cut.
I need.
I need.
I need.

It is strange, annoying, comforting, terrifying how very primal the need is–it makes perfect sense and is infuriating that others don’t understand. It is dangerous they say…but isn’t that part of the need–that they truly don’t understand. So many secrets to keep.
