‘Written With My Blood’ by Flossy Wilshin, Year 9

Dear lord, please let me escape from this mind that has become my cell.

-I wrote these words with the blood stolen from my thighs.

They won’t go away – I try to drown them out but they never leave.

-I wrote these words with the blood taken from my wrists.

“I love you” you don’t love ME, you love who I pretend to be. I never wish for you to find out who I really am.

-I wrote these words with the blood drawn from my palms.

I’m sorry dear, it’s too late. What’s died cannot be revived. I’ll always love you from above, I promise.

-These words pooled onto the paper with the blood of my heart.

 

…How did things end up this way?
