Very well done, I think that, when people cut for attention, that they do infact have something psychologically wrong with with them because no one in a right frame of mind would cut themself for attention. Anyway, pertaining to your poem, I think that people that cut, and hide it are exactly as you described in your poem. Nice Work.

Hey wow.. that was so good.. and so very true.. I agree with you 100% on that if it is for attention then why do we hide it?? that has never made sense to me either.. thanks for writting about it.. and thanks for the comment.. your a great poet! DONT STOP!!! lol.. Byebye EJ

Wow what an awesome poem.... so true. so many people speak and critize cutters but yet they have no idea why they cut or what they feel! this sumed up everything perfectly, i can relate because i used to be a cutter, and everyday i hide it because i know what others would say if they knew! Even though i've stopped i'm still tempted and afraid! anyways all i can say is cutters are MORE beautiful because we have secrets and we are afraid, WE ARE HUMAN!

Loved it 5/5

Thanx for the comments and votes.
This poem is really deep. Even if shared with all the ignorant fools, they still wouldn't get it. You can read a story, or hear someones life story but you'll never get it until you have live it yourself. Keep sharing your story there are still others out there that live it and this will mean alot to them.

Heya,
Great poem :) It was an excellent, emotional piece of writing which also put a message across. I particularly liked the last 4 lines:

if self harming was for attention,
then the marks would be on show,
we would not have to hide in shame,
afraid of who might know.

I give you a 5 :)
Take care and keep writing,

Thanks also for the comment on my newest poem. It means alot. :)

Great poem. I am a cutter and I hate how others act about it.(nobody has found out I have yet but I have heard how they talk about others who do) This poem speaks the truth. 5/5

Hey, this was really powerful. I loved the way you worded it, the meaning shone straight through. Keep it up, and thank you for your awsome comments.

Ohmy, Ohmy..So true..I hate all the people who walk around showing off their cuts and scars knowing they are the ones who give SHer's a bad rep.. Pathetic..anyway, wonderful poem, I really do love it..

Wow. I can totally relate to this poem. Everyone always told me that I cut for attention... but I didn't. If cutters cut for attention... they would show the world their scars, But honestly I don't know anyone who has done that. But there are some people who just want to be felt sorry for... and really they shouldn't cut just for that.
Anywhoo... great poem. I rate it a 5.
