Another Clean Day
Yay
Another clean day
Without blood spilling
That slow self-killing
A day for healing
The skin is sealing
Only to be cut again?
What does this cutting gain?
That’s why I try and stop
Before the cuts make my body drop
.

Yes, give your body a rest and a chance to heal. Keep clean!
I enjoyed how you made the last word of two lines rhyme, and specifically on a particular theme. I have been trying a couple of times before, but it’s not easy. Great work!
I’m trying.
The easiest way I’ve found to do it is let the rhyme shape the line, I get the first line, look for rhymes for the word and then fit words around that to make sense. It’s how I wrote most my early poetry. It also helps against writer’s block.
