Cutting Edge

How could any of them understand?
The knife was cold against her skin and when she dragged it across, it was almost hypnotic how the blood came to life. Beading on her skin until it ran down her wrist to meet once more on the other side and drip onto the floor.
Thoughts ran unceasing in her mind. Over and over and over again! The same words, phrases and they wouldn’t stop. They never stopped!
It wasn’t until the pain gave her a chance to focus that the storm would quiet.
No more sadness, hate, or rage.
Just pain and calm.
