sharp metal

NinjaGirl

I didn't mean to cut so deep

of course it's not that big of a deal

something that could use stitches or glue

another scar that will look so perfectly straight

people will ask what happened even though they know

why did I cut my ankle as springtime is coming

the drops of blood fell for so much longer

of course it's not that big of a deal

I've cut much deeper before.

                Manjushri’s got a blade
                That’s sharper than anything
                Man made
                Have a great
                Weekend

                Literal or metaphoric it resounds with pain. Pain and concern. Why do we all injure ourselves in one way or another? Self destructive in relationships, business, politics, driving, it doesn't matter knowing better makes no difference. A raw and powerful poem, brave.

                What a painful and sad landscape is described in this poem. Anyone who has been there knows better than to judge the reasons. I hope all the wounds heal. Very beautiful. Greetings.

                just today morning my sister told me she had cut herself, and the wound was deep
                i am just glad it was only physical, and will soon heal
