It shines

Ajax (he/xe)

While washing the dishes

Something shines out of the corner of my eye

I’m curious

I look over, 

the object is a knife. 

My wrist tingles and twitches

Wondering how it would feel

If I just…

Sliced.

What would it be like? 

To bleed out.

Painful, probably

But it might be worth it.

Am I willing to take the chance? 

I don’t know yet.

  • Comment from author about the poem: every time I see a knife or self-harm or anything sharp is mentioned, my wrist tingles and twitches. I'm not sure what it means.
