Letter to my Razor

by El   Jan 22, 2009


I was so stupid and foolish
I was young and dumb
I felt so horrible about myself
You stopped me feeling numb

But now I realize you were a mistake
I don't want you in my life anymore
You just left me in pain, bleeding
Lying in a pool of blood, crying on floor

I was addicted to you
But now I am free
You no longer have control
You have no grasp over me

I am going to get on with my life
Forget about the painful past
That cut was my deepest
But now it is my last

---------------------------------
yes the flow is not great
but this was a really hard poem for me to write
please let me kno what you thought
*Constructive critism welcome*

    This was jus how i feel to it i was the same way and now i havnt anymore. What i really like in this is that its showing that cutting is a mistake annd that it is like a drug. Im so happy u recognize that..........hang in there if u need to talk im here 5 out of 5

    Well i like that the poem was straight forward. It just shows the innocence of the protagonist.But is certainly tragic how it ends.

    That cut was my deepest
    But now it is my last

    ^^^ I got a very errie picture on my mind of how you end the poem

    Well i certainly enjoyed reading it and i think you really have a good flow.Keep it up5/5

    ^^maybe in the last line add "from feeling numb" it will help the flow there a little : ) the flow was not bad ! ((by the way)) it was only a little rocky in that last line...
    ok a suggestions is maybe use some stronger adjectives instead of "dumb" or "horrible" those are too generic! you don't have a generic poem here so maybe spice it up a bit : )

    But now I realize you were a mistake
    I don't want you in my life anymore
    You just left me in pain,
    Lying in a pool of blood, crying on floor
    ^^aww..that's so sad! i mean great job here with getting your emotions across i mean it was shocking to read something so blunt and sad it was very good though maybe just add some more to the third line it was a weebit shorter than the rest of the lines that will fix the flow

    I was addicted to you
    But now I am free
    You no longer have control
    You have no grasp over me
    ^^i like the re enforcement of him having no effect over you you said it great in line three but backed it back up in line four which i think added something more official and clever about it great job : )

    I am going to get on with my life
    Forget about the painful past
    That cut was my deepest
    But now it is my last
    ^^great ending ! i mean to come to that conclusion is powerful and just majestic! maybe keep the lines around the same length they descended here and that distracted me but other than that i loved this stanza it did a great job of wrapping the poem up

    so overall suggestions:
    use some stronger adjectives and keep the lines the same length!! : )
    great job though !!
    5/5
