Cutting

by UtterlyAlive   Aug 12, 2013


Like rain tumbling gently from the sky
My tears drop sweetly to the sink below,
Mixing with my blood,
To create a salty combination of pain.

The emotional and the physical,
Working as one to overpower me,
I can't fight it!
Not with these demons tormenting me inside

Their beautiful song and welcoming smiles,
Toy with my mind,
They make my black heart,
Feel as though for once it was loved.

And that's why every night
I creep silently to a place and I won't be found
And I allow myself to bleed,
Allow my mind to be set free.

Even though everything inside me dies,
I feel alive,
The pain is gone,
And for a moment, I'm happy.

    Great poem, I encourage you to stay strong and never give up. Keep pushing through daily and you can get through anything. Sometimes cutting may not be the right thing to do. I know this, im 18 and been there and done it. Just please be careful and im here for you if you need to talk about anything. I would love to help or talk to you if needed.

    This truly is a good piece of writing I agree with kiley. This is pretty realistic and the imagery is really good I personally didn't see any flaws. For the first and last stanzas are the best because the are the ones that tell the story. You give such a great sad feeling to our hearts which brings the poem alive. Tears and cutting bring so much realism and I think a lot of people can relate to that. I am interested in more of your poems. 5

    This piece....it blew me away.

    For one, it's so realistic. The imagery is spot on and the pain in the piece is evident. Many cutters, myself included, could very well agree the feelings you've described.
    Also, it helps that you seemed to have poured your soul here. I can feel what you're feeling. It's so powerful and strong.

    I'm honestly in love with your writing. Your style is great, your voice is great. Keep writing :)
