.15 blood lines..

[Raz]

1. because life isn't good, I can't make it fun
2. because I hate your pity, but I need it too
3. because the razor loves me, and I have to see
4. because I want it more and more, more and more
5. because it hurts, I don't want to be alive
6. because I'm scared I'll hurt more, when I die
7. because life is hell, but death isn't heaven
8. because I know there are better ways, but it's too late
9. because this is what I choose, this path is mine
10. because any other way, I'll only hurt you again
11. because I'm sick of strangers, and fucking strange men
12. because self-respect takes its place, on the shelf
13. because sometimes pain, it needs to be seen
14. because sometimes cliches, they mean what they mean
15. because I'm not happy with myself.
    
    
    I'm not happy.
    

 

[(Wordy)]

Nice idea for a "pattern poem", albeit a dark/morbid one. The title is clever. I think these points are the strongest:

because the razor loves me, and I have to see

because I want it more and more, more and more

because I'm sick of strangers, and fucking strange men

And these two work really well together:

because sometimes pain, it needs to be seen
because sometimes cliches, they mean what they mean
