"Cutting a line that starts out thin."

K. Quimby, age 19. North Carolina.


Done With A Twist


Feeling the cool tile floor against her face

No one to warm her in a big embrace

She wonders how she got like this

Looking down at her cut up wrists


On her wrists she sees unbearable scars

This time she took it way too far

Putting the razor to her skin

Cutting a line that starts out thin


Going deeper than ever before

She just lays there on the floor

As the blood flows out of her wrist

Using the razor for just one last twist


Letting all the blood drain

She feels no more pain

It’s over and done with

Another scar with a twist

Picking herself up off the floor

She is heading to the door

Grasps the door knob tight

She says it’s just another night
