Cutting

by ibleedregret   Feb 17, 2007


I have scars
up and down my arm
the cover my body
but they tell of self-harm.
Having the scars
makes me remember my shame
They show that I cut
and without them, I wouldn't be the same.
At first,
cutting was a way to cope
a way to make me forget
when I no longer had hope.
It progressed into so much more
and soon it changed my life
it became an addiction
and soon I couldn't live without the knife
I'd cut everyday
just to release the pain
it took away my emotions
without it I'd be insane.
But there was no one to tell
So I kept cutting myself
all too soon
I though suicide would be good for my health.
So I cut deep into my wrist
until I saw only black
I'd committed suicide
and I'd never get life back.

    Hey, Thanks for your comment first of all! Anywyas about the poem at the bgeining i liked the flow of it, but then by the end you kindof threw me off alittle. I odnt know you had a nice rhyme scheme going and this helped create a good strong rhythem, but by the end the rhythem was just gone... But anyways i liked your words usage and you did draw me in at the begining of the poem. I can relate to it very well and the imagery created was quite grafic. I liked the meaning behind it, if you ever need to talk im hear ok? I owuld rewrite the ending, you can keep the story the same but just change the words or something? No offence intended, im just trying to be honest. Keep writing, you show talent! xx
