Miseries and Pain

It's not words,

It's pain,

Of my soul's sufferings

In this world so vain.

How long would survive

Mere blue ink?

Hence runs my blood

To say my story,

Out of the blazing cuts

Carved on my body.

How beautiful

These dissecting,

Outgrowing lines

Red, as on fire,

Vivid and full of life.

But it's a sad story they recite,

My story, as lifeless as me.


My scars tell you

Lonely I am,

Though I call it solitude,

To sympathize myself.

How funny it seems!

These smarting scars

Tell the truth,

As I make up dreams

To heal a little

Of miseries and pain

In this world so vain.


This poetry

Written silently smooth

With blood that soothes

My sight and soul.

No, not sadistic,

Nor pessimistic,

But realistic

I am a bit.

And now when I'm hurt

In body and heart,

And my scars tell the story,

Cold blood trickling down

My hands, and paper,

There rests 

The only audience,

All knowing 

But in silence,

Blood smeared blade.
