My pulse is in my scars
skin so perfectly marred
pain so exsquisitly carved
that my nightmares call it art

The voices are applauding me
with all their personalities
My fingers trace the marks
complementing my insanity

I told you I was losing something
so try to continue smiling
Not so easy when you're watching me bleed
now that you've taken the last thing I need

I'm laughing out loud
like you did before
crying my misery
onto the floor

You're too afraid to look at me
too stunned to speak
as you lock the door

So this is what you broke me for

"I don't need to scream for you to deem me aggravation."

This is a very nice write, Shay

At first blush, one could think that it has "cutting" references in it. But, it doesn't, does it? Cause, it would probably get moderated into oblivion if it did.

So, I'll say that I like the way you use scarring metaphorically. Done in a way that everyone can relate to.

-loved this stanza, fantastic write...

"in a past life i was a woodcarver's knife: the sharpend blade of a wood cutter, the eldest son of the chief's brother: a maker of drums"

If someone liked it, then it was worth writing. Thank you for giving me that satisfaction.

Beautiful yes I think everyone can indeed relate to this at one point or another.
