I love the message in this. it describes the controversial thoughts you have when you're trying to quit. you long to feel it, but at the same time you're struggling not to cut.

"I have
-always-
been enough"

it's important that you keep telling yourself that hun.

stay strong, and take care. good luck on quitting.

Hmm... cutting is a very cliche topic to write about. People just keep using the same words over and over again. For example: cimson, blood, razor, cut, pain. It just gets pretty boring after a while. My suggestion if you're going to write about cutting is to make it unique somehow. Instead of saying "crimson blood" say something like "liquid sins". Just a suggestion though. ^^

I did like the ending, how you're reflection wants you to throw the blade out and stop cutting. It was a nice ending, but keep in mind my suggestion on being creative.

Nice job!

Keep writing!

Hmm, this poem was good, don't get me wrong. But the whole idea about the cutting situation and such was just too cliche. I have to agree with the above comment by Cayce. IMO, it was ilke any other poem about cutting and how you want to just put down the blade and not cut anymore. Blah. I don't know. Too simple for me. The structure was unique however. That helped the poem flow.. which I must say that was a really good thing you did. The words were too simple, pick up a dictionary or something.. and find some interesting words. It's amazing to see what there is out there. You could create a wonderful poem with a better word-choice. Hm, I like the whole idea of the reflection though, and how this person was looking into the mirror and such, that's waht I would have expected to read and I did. It was an okay poem, but could be better like most of our poems. 4/5.

A very nice ending! I like how it starts out sad but ends with a thoughtful hopeful outlook. And the very last thought, "I have -always- been enough" was well put because the emphasis was perfect, especially with the way you highlighted the word always and made it stand out. Good job!

Interesting write... I really like the conversation between you and your reflection... I interpret reflection as your inner voice trying to help you...

good write..

keep writing..

It's clear, it's simples and makes you think. I really liked it. Nice ending, btw.
Good job!

I liked the truth-ness to it. The ending sort of made me think of this poem as like those inspirational songs and stuff. It's nice how you kept the reality in it. Good work.

Wow. i like the flow and how u structured ur writing. it flows like a reflection, its really cool how its also visually doing that. =)
