The First Cut.

by Just a girl   Feb 12, 2011


She knew people who did,
she never thought she would.
She was strong, she could handle life.
So she thought.

You never really know when it happens.
But when it does, you feel it.

One day she took off the fake smile,
locked the door behind her and cried.
Suddenly it was to much, she didn't want
to be strong anymore. She couldn't be.

The blade was there, the one thing she could control.
How deep, Where, The Pain.

One quick slice, a rush, a release.
She could breathe, this was her coping.

The blood trickled down her arm, and there it was.
The first cut, just the first, not the last.

Soon she would be a living example of how
weak one person can really be.

Strong? Not her.
Her whole life would be written across her body.

And we all know, No one ever see's the signs.

    My god, this piece is stunning. The emotions and descriptions are dead on. I am one like the girl you describe, and I know it hurts. This piece really hits home for me, and I love it. There is a perfect length, wonderful word choice, a smooth flow, and a great message. I think it really tells about who you are as a person, and the way you see things around you, it also shows how smart you are for being young, oh my I could go on and on about this piece. Though even if I did, I bet you I could never find a defect with it, nor do I wish to. Excellent job. 5/5 keep writing and I'll keep reading cause you definatly have talent.

    I like the emotion in this poem. I use to be a cutter myself and very often I felt weak. I have been clean for nine months and let me tell you it has been the hardest nine months in my life. All's you can do is hope that that one cut will be your last, and if it's not then hope at some point it will be. But the poem was very good, Keep writing it might help in more ways then you think. 5/5
