Razorblades

by Thomas   Jun 19, 2012


Little metal helpers
Scraping my white skin
Causing little cuts
And get my blood flowing

This ritual
I preform twice a week
It's addicting
God, I'm so weak

For giving in
to society's pressure
And sacrifice
my precious leisure

But unlike teenage girls
I'm thinking about shaving
They on the other hand
are thinking of engraving

Engraving the pain
that they feel inside
A splitting pain whose aim
is to conquer and divide

To these girls
I want to give some advice
Something to consider
and to think about twice

The relief
is only temporary
the scar on your arm
is for ever

    That was a good advice, and so true. The scar will remain forever and will be there to remind them.

    Good write.

    Oh so so so true!!!
    A great message to get out there and hopefully some will listen.

    I must agree with Hannah, I originally thought this would be about you cutting yourself, and I guess in a way it is of similar content but with a much more positive message. Well done!!

    Also, a minor typo I think in the second stanza:
    'preform' should be 'perform' I think.

    5/5

    When I read the title, I was expecting this to be about you cutting yourself and I was going to get depressed because it hurts me to know people actually do cut themselves just to feel a little something... but as I read on, I was impressed with the message. Fantastic job!
