I burnt myself today,
I felt the pain of your disappointment flow away,
A simple cigarette burn is all it takes,
And it ceases the shakes,
I become calm once again,
And then I have to explain,
But explaining is the hardest part,
That’s when I can’t feel my heart,
I dig down deep inside,
To find the words to describe,
What goes through me,
But all I can say is,
Don’t be mad,
It won’t happen again,
Now I am sitting here,
In the operating room,
Preparing to lose the hand,
With the burn,
To an infection,
All because I was depressed,
For no apparent reason.
