If I mutilate my hands
Will that show you I've been working hard enough?
If I cut off my wrists
Will that free me from the chains you've wrought?

I want you to be proud of who I am, not who you want me to be.
If I tie a noose around my neck
Will you finally see?

I had a visceral reaction to this. I enjoyed the combination of poignant physical imagery and the more emotion-laden lines. It unites the body and soul in that way.
