Cloudy, but who cares?

I've been cutting for months -
it's addictive.  I like the blood,
the flow, the look, feel, taste -
it soothes, comforts, controls.

My wife thinks I want to be
proclaimed a schizo.  Actually,
the people who usually do this
are Borderlines, but why make
a distinction in this case?  She
thinks I enjoy the drama of it
all.

Frankly,
I think I knife myself to keep
from knifing everyone else
I run into....
