    In 12 stanzas you just expressed all these jumbled thoughts that have refused to organize over the last 3 years of my life.
    5/5, absolutely amazing.

    It was great my fave bit was

    If you try to help me out
    Don't assume you know how I feel
    The truth is you can't mend my heart
    And you can't make my cuts heal

    Everything you described is how i used to feel!! apart from the drugs thing i never done any!! but i did cut, and i did wish for death and i have lost 3 friends because of suicide. your words are amazing... when you write, your emotions pour out and it's like i can almost feel what you are feeling.. i agree with you on your last verse ... noone can pretend to know how your feeling unless they are feeling it to.. i'm not saying i know how your feeling but i have been there.. i'm not anymore thanks to the rock band avenged sevenfold and reading poems.. your a good writer.. i always look forward to read any new ones x

    Yes to every question in your poem apart from the drugs bit. I was depressed for a very long time, i remember sitting on the bathroom floor with a razor blade and i remember slicing it across my skin, i remember thinking that if i cut deep enough the pain will fade it never did. I also remember all my friends saying they understood but they didnt.

    Im not depressed anymore, i met my current boyfriend and he really helped me over come my depression, i dont smile with a twist anymore for the first time in a very long time i was smiling for real.

    I still have scars all down my arms to remind me but they are fading. Im happy for once.

    All im saying is dont give up on life you never know what your going to miss

    Read this first in '08, didn't have an account because I wasn't ready to share. My best friend had just killed himself and everyday I was struggling to not follow him down that road. Your words are from the heart, and the fact that they flow off the tongue is a plus in my book. Thanks for the help you didnt know you gave me almost 10 years ago.
