Screaming Inside, Please Hear Me Now

by **Just Her**   Mar 19, 2005


It seems I made it this far
A survivor is what they say
But that’s hardly the truth
They really do think I’m okay

But Old habits die hard
Slashing that wrist
The knife drew a portrait
One that I could not resist

Finally one day I stopped
Not because I was happy
Not because I was told too
Because I was scared of that me

I was afraid of having my art on display
I did not want the world to know
See the pain did not stop when the knife did
I never really did let go

I crave to still have my skin torn apart
To punish myself for how I feel
But insecurity gets the best of me
And my scars are left to heal

I’m left with the torturing memory
And the present only brings out more pain
After you have a fight with suicide
Nothing ever feels the same

Next time your proud of me
For getting through that year
Don’t call me a survivor
Because I’m barely even here

**I don't know..im so lost right now, sorry if it sucks, comment anyways please... i just hate not having anyone to talk to**

    Wow another great poem, so emotional and sad, I love it especially this part:

    I crave to still have my skin torn apart
    To punish myself for how I feel
    But insecurity gets the best of me
    And my scars are left to heal

    I can totally relate to these lines and the ending too....You have talent, keep writing!!

    this was a really good poem, it helps me understand the person who wrote it more
    it's also good that your writing about stopping the cutting and not carrying on
    if you ever need a friend, email me
