Just a note: some of you may find this poem a bit triggering, especially if you're dealing with your own self harm issues. As always, only read it if you feel strong enough - and if it does affect you then please talk to someone about it (whether in 'real' time, the internet or by ringing a helpline).

My Scarlet Dress

They dug their claws in
Pulling at my flesh
Tearing and ripping
Long sharp silver claws
Blood flows over my face
Coating my body in scarlet robes
My claws
My own claws
Me ripping, and tearing
Short, chewed, painted claws
Drawing the scarlet fabric from inside my body
Sewing my robes
Clothing my body
In that beautiful scarlet dress
Flowing, moving, living
My living scarlet dress
