One kind of disease

Fingers bleeding I try to write
what´s hurting me most:
nail clippers
I use them to reveal the skin under the skin
but I have to hide from gazes

Blood-shiny fingers
I try to grab something
but it hurts too much
I have to let go

In the dark moments of the night
I separate my fingertips and throw them away
By the morning they are already healed
so no one will see, I guess

No one will see
because I deny everything, ashamed

One kind of disease

  1. And in this we're similar... except my lips are very visible to others. What I hide away is my needle-stung hands. Which don't leave a lot of scarring. ^^ Luckily? Or not?
