Self-Abuse

by Savanha   Sep 3, 2006


Blood trickles from my wrist
Drops on the floor
My eyes fill with tears
Nothing I haven't seen before.

One bottle of pills
Is all it would take
I cannot smile anymore
I'm tired of being fake.

I put a bruise on my arm
Say I hit the shelf
You can tell I'm lying
But you cant understand why i hurt myself.

It isn't something I can answer
In one short conversation
It will take a while for you to understand
It will take some contemplation.

But to make it short and sweet
The answer I am about to confide
Is a secret
Something I feel the need to hide.

I do it because I don't know why I am so sad
So I replace mental pain with physical pain
Something I can feel and know where the pain comes from
This is the only control I gain.

I could die
The end could be near
But until it is
I'll just sit here in fear.

These are what most of my poems are like, and im just now getting the courage to post them.

P.S. dont cut... it doesnt help

    I've seen so many poems like this, but none of them were this well written. So much emotion and meaning. I feel your pain and see where you're coming from. 5/5 for sure
