Inspired by the style of the great Sylvia Plath
Luminous scars
Fade into pale flesh
Mutilated
By mine own hand
Torn.

Ugly red marks
Blisters breaking youth
Lost
Out of my reach
Gone.

Firm flesh torn
Ripped in a rage
Innocence
All my dreams and fears
Fade.

Weaving red snakes
Dodge and slither
Marvelling
At their trails left
Bleeding.
