Silver Blade
At age 18
I remember when I met my friend,
the silver blade.
I was only 13
full of hate and anger,
mad at the world
running away
for I needed to get away
So I used my friend
and I got many bright red streams
so much relief
a way to get out
without nobody knowing.
Covered in scars
I hid from the world
My silver blade
became my best friend
helped me through my pain
and never let me down
So I sit here at 18
with my silver blade
not letting go.
