Blood Thoughts

by Lilly Tagloff   Oct 28, 2007


She goes into her room
as she tries to get away-
away from the pain and sorrow.
She sits in a corner and thinks happy thoughts,
but all her thoughts turn into blood.
Then the blood becomes real
as she takes the razor from under her bed
and presses them against her skin.
One by one, her mental sorrows turn into physical pain.
As the tears drop down off her check and sting her scars.
Each of her scars represents
another obstacle,
another secret,
another reason to come back to her corner
and do it all over again tomorrow.
Then she wipes her tears,
puts the scissors back under her bed
and puts a long sleeve shirt on,
so no one will know of her blood thoughts.

    I liked the free form of that poem. i get so sick of 4 line stanzas that it seems nearly every1 is writing. they're so boring and uninspired the feelings in it i can relate to even though i have never cut myself. well atleast intentionally. but i can understand how physical pain is alot easier to deal with than emotional. as my greatest fear is often the wounds that leave no scars. i would say maybe the lines
    "but all her thoughts turn into blood.
    Then the blood becomes real "
    would sound better as
    but all her thoughts turn crimson
    as the wounds become real.
    but that is just me. anyway a good poem which i liked.
    ps you might like my poem "the chant of death"
    it has a simliliar theme and i think you could relate to it
