Release

Release

I cut my skin to release my sin
Blood bubbles out, terror within
Like a cauldron boiling over
A new day will begin.
I bang my head upon the floor
Wanting it to hurt no more
To escape the heavy aching sorrow
Looking for a new tomorrow
Free again once more.
I drink until I’m no longer there
And neither are my fears
I hanker down beneath my bed
The rug sops up my tears.
