Carve my story in my skin

by forgetmenot   Jul 26, 2006


When I first cut,
I remember I was scared,
But I had to do it,
because my memories can't be shared.

I ran to my room,
Tears streamed down my cheek,
I took a pin because,
I didn't want to feel weak,

The first time it was just,
a million red scratches,
at the time I never knew,
These would turn to gashes,

As time went on,
the pain just got too much,
My cutting grew worse,
I thought of your evil touch,

One day I came home,
To more abuse and hurt,
I knew what i wantedd to do,
as I took off my ripped shirt,

I stared at the lines purple,
I felt no regret,
I told myself I needed this
As a security net,

So i take out a blade,
rip open my skin,
tell myself it wouldn't happen,
if I was perfect and thin,

I make a million gashes,
bleeding red slashes,
red tears from my heart,
There feels no way to start,
To try and mend,
Coz I can't pretend,
I tell myself to go to sleep,
To forget the doings of that creep,
I know that tomorrow I'll wake,
do the same again-untill I break!

    Wow just wow. You have such a way with words. I've read a few of your poems and this one really stuck out to me. If this is true you started the same way I did.. with a small little needle.. and that's all it took. Anyway I'm glad I took time to read this. 5/5 It's amazing.
