I'm Young and Reckless

I'm feeling young and reckless
but the ribbon on my wrist says
do not open before Christmas
but that seems so far away
and the ragging emotions
i have inside appeared to be
too much to hide
i need to slice
open my skin
and watch as the crimson stream
flows
from my self-inflicted wound
taking with it my sorrows and pains
and some of my hopelessness
for tomorrow and today
i pull back my wristband
to cover my shame
and soon this will just be
a pain full reminder of my mistakes
from yesterday
