third time's the (not so) charm(ing)

Emptiness hinders hope.
Suffocates it.
Whiskey alone won’t release her.
So
with thick scars mutating her wrist,
she reaches for the bottle of pills,
slams them into her mouth.
Soon
 
she’d be free.

  2. Very unsettling and sad. I like the way its written, with short sharp sentences.

  3. sigh - it always sad - but someone who is determined will find a way.

    one question - should "mutating" be "mutilating"? or am I reading it wrong?

    Good piece.
