Circles

If you happen to bump into me tomorrow

Or see me

 

You’ll notice something new

Something different

 

Great big red rings

Circles

 

Circles around my neck

Around my wrists

 

Circles from my knife

Traveling around my wrists

Around and around

Cutting and slicing open the skin

Making it warm red

And irritated

 

The same around my entire neck

A complete circle around
