Cuttings a habbit

Sometimes also, a good self-harm poem is one that doesn't talk about it outright for people to judge, but get them drawn in by creating a verbal picture of the emotions you feel at the cutting moment, or the emotions that you feel afterward, that cause you to desparately wonder why. I am not saying I am perfect, but to better illistrate my point, my poem, "Fallen Again" is about cutting, but a little less outright. It at least will convey my point better. And remember, its only a suggestion, not a judgment. I cut too, so I am not saying anything about that.

I understand the need to write about cutting, in order to express yourself and help unraval why you do what you do. It has also been a struggle in my own life. Just remember how many simple poems about the subject have been written. In order to make yours stand out, remember to use words that convey the most emotion humanly possible, so even those who are against cutting, will be left in aw of your writer's craft, even if they do not like the content of the poem. Keep writing.
