Burning skin

This is raw emotion and tells us of how you deal with your pain. Everyone has their own way of coping with their pain...some healthy and unhealthy. I don't think burning yourself is the way to go, just like I don't agree with cutting, however it is your body and your choice. I'm not trying to offend you, I hope you don't take it that way. I just think there could be other releases you could try without doing physical harm to yourself? Like I said, I mean no offense and certainly am not judging you in anyway. You are a wonderful writer and I can tell a very sweet person who has had a troubled past. I know it haunts you and you need to escape it so you do something more drastic to take your mind off of it. :(

I'm glad you shared this poem, it's so powerful.

Keep writing, Saffie!!

I understand what you mean. I use to do the same thing to create a distraction, to cause a greater pain so i dont feel my hurting heart. good job.

I know exactly how you feel...
hugs.

This is a piece of poetry that doesnt need fancy words and metaphors because it shows emotion in its simplicity, while being powerful and flowing perfectly.

hugs and love

This reminds e of a cutter releasing the pain
We all have a dark side and release our feelings and pain in many different ways.
What makes it even woerse, nobody will
hear our cry

There is no better release
than a wild flame burning you
Oh! What a strange feeling you need to try!
Well penned piece of hurt, lol.
I enjoyed the feelings.
