"Work of Art"
by the mother of a young cutter
Work of Art
It's an art form
and beautiful,
or so you claim.
You wield blade as brush,
fill flesh canvas
with finely drawn
crimson lines, ritually
purge anger through pain.
I can't help but remember
the unblemished perfection
of the child you were
and wonder
if all your scars
are so easily seen.
~ Sharon
