To Which Part Should I Point the Knife?
To which part should I point the knife?
To which part should I point it first?
to the hand that has caused a lot of failures,
a lot of misdeeds and mistakes?
to the heart that has been through dozens of heartbreaks?
took in too much emotion, hurt, and sadness.
It took more than it can take.
To the brain which has a lot of questions and what-ifs?
became too much with overthinking,
now burdened with negative thoughts.
to which part should I point the knife?
to which part should I point it first?
to which part should I point it to break me from this misery.
Or should I not just point it.
should I pierce it?
provide physical pain and make this misery tangible.
Tangible misery.
What a better idea.
To see the pain as it gushes out from the wound.
Like the life that's in it.
Steal the life that's in it.
Til there's no pain no more.
Til there will be no pain anymore.
