Better to feel pain

by Becky   Oct 20, 2005


Its better to feel pain
than to feel nothing at all

i am walking numb
until i cut the ice

i want to know im alive
so i cause myself pain

the pain keeps growing duller
it takes more to feel alive

i cut repeatedly
and i cut too deep

just to feel alive
and not walking numb

    Simple, but very effective. i completely understand the feeling of preferring to feel pain than that horrid numbness where u cant even cry ur so numb. that expresses it perfectly, really great piece.

    Well I have to disagree with you on the first statement :) I believe it would be better to feel nothing than pain - From experience. Nice poem though :D

    Just a few suggestions for you that you can choose to listen to or not:

    1 "Its better to feel pain" - 'Its' should have an apostrophe between the t & s. "It's" short for It is. :P

    2 "I want to know that im alive" - Again 'im' should have an apostrophe between the i & m. "I'm" short for I am.

    3 "and not walking numb" - This doesn't quite make sense to me, it would make a little more if it said "walk" instead of "walking"

    :D They are just a few little errors; again you don't have to change anything it's just a "heads up" :P
