Numb

by Leah   Jul 5, 2005


My body gets so numb
my fingers so cold
it feels like I'm dead
just a black hole
in a large world of people
i cut to feel
so i can feel alive
be like normal people
it makes me feel real
when i see the blood i smile
some may call me crazy but i call it life
life is hard and i chose this path
and i would not change what i did
it feels so good i can not resist
I'm addicted to this game
and one day i just mite
lose the game that i have been playing
death mite overtake my body
and maybe ill find out if anyone will miss me

    "and one day i just mite

    "might" instead of "mite."

    This was an okay poem. I feel like this topic is a bit old, but I definitely liked the format more that just simple stanzas. You rhymed a bit more than I would have liked you to, but the variance in syllables per line was actually refreshing in this poem, it seemed more like a monologue than a stuffy sonnet or anything like that, which seems more appropriate. I think your ideas could use a bit of refining, but it was pretty good nonetheless.

    Hmm...

    I have read a lot of poems like this one before, carrying the same message. If i were you, I'd probably (if i were to write about cutting) make the wording more unique. You see, a lot of people write stuff like "i cut to feel" in their cutting poems, or some variation of that. Use your imagination and make the poem stand out from all the other cutting poems.

    I've actually said this to a lot of people, but the rhyme scheme seems forced. These lines don't actually hang together that well, the only reason you put the last line was because it rhymes with cold.

    "My body gets so numb
    my fingers so cold
    it feels like I'm dead
    just a black hole"

    So, just work on that some more. I'll be reading your stuff every once in awhile, and giving some more critique.

    Keep on writing,
    Dorotea
