Poems collection -Self harm (trigger warning)

The Opened Locked Box

There was once a box,

Buried deep inside drawers,

Hidden from view,

And those prying eyes.

I walk to the drawers,

And pull it open,

Digging for the blue.

I find the box,

Its been 8 days,

Since opened,

And the hell released.

Should I dare?

Should you care?

It lies on my bed,

Proud and hard.

Plastic casing,

For a devilish blade.

The key moves in my hands,

What a perfect fit,

Just like the lock.

But should I dare?

But do you care?

If I opened this box,

And treated myself,

To a hellish,

Selfish relief.
