The Heavy Razor
The heavy razor
Picture a bathroom
It could be your bathroom
It could be an imaginary bathroom
It could be fancy, walls lined with white tiles and garnet sinks
It could be small, with a wooden toilet seat and green hand towels
Is there a window?
And does it have curtains?
Just picture a bathroom
Any bathroom
Got it?
Picture the door
What color is it?
Does it have a towel rack?
Are the hinges rusted from condensation?
Is it tall?
What color is the door knob?
Just picture a door,
Any door
Got it?
Now picture the floor
Is it white?
Is it wooden?
Is there a small rug?
Just picture a floor,
Any floor
Now picture a small trail of blood on that floor
A deep red
Puddles of origin
It could be a large puddle
It could be small
Just picture blood,
Any pile of blood
Got it?
Now picture a girl
Young, a teen
She could be blonde or burnet
She could be wearing a dress or a sweatshirt
She could be pale or tan
She could be you,
She could be your friend, your sister, your mother
Just picture a girl,
Any girl
Sitting on the floor
Tears in her eyes
Got it?
Now picture her hands
Her nails could be painted
Her hands could be frail
just picture her hands,
Any hands
Shaking in fear
holding a small metal razor,
And Blood on her wrists
Got it?
Now imagine what happened to her
Think of what could have brought her there
Think of how she is feeling
Think of what is going through her mind
Think of what you can do to save her
Got it?
And lastly,
Think back to that door.
If you were standing on the other side,
The other end,
The greener grass,
Could you possibly know what was going on inside?
Could you see through its disguise?
Could you tell whether or not someone was near death in there?
How could you know what was going on inside, if you never reached to open the door?
