***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.
