No Last Resort

Stephanie Alford
Sliced open
By my own scalpel
Though deserved
Does not alleviate the pain
Yet I endure it
It stopped hurting
When I was four
Starting early
My method of dealing
With emotional strife
Life's disappointments
Even though it stings
I crave it
It has become
More of a want
Than a need
Increasing in pleasure
Forever constant

I've returned from my little emotional sabbatical. Much better now.  View profile
