Comments : The "Cutting" Truth

  • 18 years ago

    by Norma Alfaro

    I really like this poem...you found a way to put everything that someone who is a cutter feels inside...thank you this is something that helps to let others know how we feel...my cuts are scars now...but sooner or later their bound to be opened again.

    I really don't know how people can say they lovepoems on this subject. This isn't about your poem just my opinion on the subject. Now this poem was decent. There were times I thought it'd be more stand out but then other times where it felt like an ordinary, "I cut." poem.
    All things reminded All penance paid
    [Stand out line: Had a better vocab word. Strong.]
    Each line of mine a mark of sin
    [Strong and emotional. But loses some effect each time you mention 'sin' after that point of the poem.]
    Or beat me as it's write
    [I think you mean: Right. Common misspelling.]
    No longer do I remember innocence
    [A pretty good line]
    I trace them so they're here to stay
    [One of the lines that made it just another, "Cutter" poem.]
    I only wish to be used
    [I doubt anyone truley wants that.]
    No one does care about the things
    [If that's true do you expect any sympathy from anyone here or other "Cutters". Truth is people do care. People just keep secrets from their friends.]
    And so my razor cuts me deep
    [Not exactly a 'haunting' line. Maybe if you went into the more emotional details to keep this poem above and beyound.]

    Good poem, it is much more detailed than most cutting/suicidal poems. Good work, 5/5

    A very sad poem.. But I really liked that first stanza. It was great. The flow and rhyming were alright. Could have been a bit longer, As in gone in a bit deeper. But I did like it alot the way it is. Keep it up!! 5/5

    This was a good poem, you really need to put emotion into it. Maybe us feel your pain, in a way. Tell us what makes you cut. The best way to stop, is telling someone, and you might as well express it in something you like doing, such as poetry. ("write" should be 'right') Still poetic, but read the comments you get. They help.

    5/5 (only because there is a poetic flow to this poem)

    Well this was a very very sad poem and I am so sorry that you have to go through this, but you are not alone and you never will be. I can relate 100 % I have been cutting myself for years now, so I know how you feel....If you ever need to talk you can email me!!! Whatever you are going through, I am sure I have been through it too...Great poem

    Much Love Sabrina

    Wow. that was very good.. it contained so much emotion and the flow was great.. the only thing that i can point out is this ::

    All things reminded All penance paid
    ^ is "all" the second time meant to be capitalized?

    thats it, excellent write! 5/5!

    I understand the feelings in this poem.....to cut yourself as punishment or as a reminder of what you've done.....i know those feelings well

    Wow. This poem was really good. Full of a lot of emotion. I just want you to know that there are people out there that care, and just be careful. If you ever need help, my shoulder is always here.

    Much love!
