The Vase I Tried To Break My Ankle With

by Heather Williams - Libra

I told everybody I would stop cutting myself
Can I beat on feet with something hard?
It doesn't work, just for the record...
But it takes away everything
That is bad in my heart..
I tried to do something new
I pounded and pounded with that lame vase
Until I just couldn't take the pain
Of the clay hitting my bone
So I moved on top of my foot
It didn't even bruise but somehow
The pain I like has returned
Taking away from the pain in my heart
