[hometext] => A lot of my friends share stories of self mutation, which is the inspiration of this poem. in this poem i'm trying to think on a more basic level. No fancy words just simple metaphors.
[bodytext] => Money can't buy the new red bracelets I got today. It was a painful bargain though. But, at the same price, I felt nothing. See, first you find a reasonable excuse to be angery at yourself, Then you get to pick how to make them, either razor or knife. I perfer the razor, it makes a cleaner cut. I have a lot of red bracelets. Some deep red, some so old they've faded. My bracelets tell a story, but at a feeling's price. Pain is just part of the physical process. It is the emotional part that counts anyway. "Why do you get red bracelets?" typical people ask. I answer, "it doesn't come in any other color."
