Losing Herself

by Becca1111   Apr 25, 2006


Afraid,
Afraid of what might happen,
A friend hurts,
A friend bleeds,
She cries for help,
But won't admit it,
Not afriad of death,
Hold on hun,
Please don't do this to yourself,
It's not worth your life,
Lost,
Afraid,
Confused,
Worried,
But won't say a word,
Keeps everything locked up inside,
Where noone can find,
No longer alive inside,
But not yet dead,
A tear falls,
Her mouth moves,
but still no sound,
She turns away,
She is fading away,
Buriing herself within these walls,
Not able to escape,
She is lost in the darkness,
Losing herself,
If nothing is done,
She will be lost forever,
Where noone can find her,
Missed dearly,
And always loved.

~I wrote this poem about my bestfriend, she has recently started cutting herself and I'm worried about her, I want to tell someone, but I promised her I would keep it a secret. I hate to break promises to friends. I'm scared for her life, and I wrote about it cuz that\'s the only thing I know to do.
I love her dearly, she's like a sister to me, and I don't want anything to happen to her, I love her so much. What she's going through makes me want to cry. If anyone has any suggestions on what to do please tell me, I could do with some help.

    Well I don’t know how long ago this was or anything but I’ll try and help. Even though ma advice may not work or u don’t have to follow through it..
    Well I think the main thing is to be there for ur friend no matter what and never give up on her always always support her. But just try slowly to make her stop I mean if she feels the urge to cut. Tell her to use a pillow n scream in it. (I do that lol)..or go the gym and hit the punching bag. You can ask her to write out how she feels. U can try yoga( I know it seems a lil wacko) to relies ur energy I think lol….
    I don’t know just try and talk to her to c a counselor? She may not like it but if that’s the case u know u’ve tried. But don’t give up just yet (lol)……really I don’t know what else to do or say that can help you to help ur friend….but the main thing just Try not to give up…
    Love dia mwaz xoxo

    Hey i read your poem and i know what it is like to watch a friend do that to themselves... at first it is hard to understand why they do it and unless you ever go through a hard time and do it yourself you wont know why they do it...my friend started doing it a couple years ago but she got help and she quit for the most part...every now and then she will do it when her parents start doin what they used to and even now i am doin it to myself...i am tryin to quit but it isnt easy...its like a feeling of control...see i didnt start doin it until something really bad happend to me and i just picked up a kitchen knife and cut my leg...i didnt want people to know so i didnt do it my wrist but its still the same and i am tryin to stop but it is hard...i dont really have any advice but to just let her know how you feel about it and try to understand why she is doing and what has happend to her to cause her to do it...for me it was something really bad that wasnt my fault...i was raped and it was a feeling of losing somethin i cant get back and when i start thinkin about it i just want to cut but i tell myself no soo many times....it is getting easier...people respond to different things so maybe she just needs someone to talk to...i hope i helped atlest a little bit
