my need

i need this release.
i need to be set free.
with the cut of a knife.
i could be alive again
a simple slash.
nothing deep.
just a simple need
one need i can not share.
no one can know
and the need is growing stronger all the longer
for the first time in years.
i felt alive.myself once again.
with the gentle touch of a blade
a need i must fulfill before it grows too strong
