I press the cold blade against my skin, and pull down, as hard and deep as I can possibly manage. I know the blade isn't sharp enough to do any serious damage. I don't care enough to do serious damage. I'm right though, and the cut has ragged edges, where skin has been torn rather than sliced. Putting down the blade, I pull the two sides of the wound apart, and I watch as the blood swells up, and I smile and grimace at the same time. I watch it trickle down my arm, and smell it. I taste it, and am rather surprised to find that it doesn't hurt. I still view it dispassionately, after the pure shock. So I do it again, and again. And then again. Calculated, calm. Not frenzied. That would have shocked them. They always expect it to be a wild outpouring of emotion. But that never was my way, not unless I was aiming to get something I wanted. And I would never use this to get that. This is my way, my humanization. The cold stone, made flesh, made man. Made into something I'm not, for milliseconds. I really like those milliseconds.

Good Summary of the feelings there. I think this might be a trigger for self harmers though. They might get off on the idea and just start... Sounds like something I would cut to...

Jimmy died today, he blew his brains out into the bay
In a state of mind, its my own private suicide.

It's beautifully written I have to say, kinda hard to read though but that's what makes it more palpable and stuff.

We caught you plotting murder!
And now the tide is turning!
We'll light our souls, heal our bones,
Upon your empire burning!

i feel the exact opposite, it was always rushed, always driven by emotion and always gave pain, i wanted the pain. mine was always a "wild outpouring of emotion". to be a little honest i kind of miss that feeling.

Every night in my dreams i see you, i feel you.
That is how i know you go on.
