Tigers Slash

by Wintersolstice   Jun 14, 2005


Slash, drip, drip, sigh...
Don't tell me I don't know
The relief you say you receive
From watching the blood flow

Me? I see no point
But I do understand
The only escape you see
Is via the razor in your hand

I suppose im right in supposing
It happens when all is too much
I have felt the feeling-a tiger inside
Tearing at me to escape and such

Some combat it with work
Some with music and drink
Me? I sleep and sleep again
And refuse to wake and think

Slash, drip, drip, sigh...
But it won’t help you my friend
How can you tame the tiger,
If you don’t make it to the end?

    Creative way of putting it all. I don't understand self harm and I think that this was a bit encouraging! Nice write!! :)

    I listen to music and drink to calm me down - not good all the time though :(

    OMG! This poem i can relate to - so many times I just want to curl up and die. I don't self harm, i just try to hide away from everyone. Brought a tear to my eye cos i can't find a way to escape from all the people who have hurt me. Brilliant poem though hun :)
