***TW: SH (self harm)***
One, two
Of my
Eyes watch
The scissors
Glide.
Three, four
Knocks on
My door.
Five, six
“I’ll be
There
In a minute!”
Seven, no, eight
Bandages I use
To cover the
Red lines.
Nine, ten
Seconds it takes
Me to unlock
My door.
Eleven, twelve
Welp.
No one will
Know nor see
Of
My scars.
