Let it Go

He yells

shaking the house

She argues

filling the room

Plates crash

Walls thud

I am alone

Hidden

from my parents

Away from Society

Anger swells within

Immediately

I grab the knife

my only reliable friend

The smooth blade

Sinks into my pale skin

little pain

Bigger relief

Blood

as red as fine silk

Thick as honey

Let it Go: This is about a teen who cuts herself to relieve her stress.

Without it

I would die

But it is trapped

With my emotions

That is why

I must

Let it go
