Self harm/Suicide

My body’s thrashing



And I’m screaming



Because I’m so confused



And I can’t even understand



Myself anymore



The only one I’ve ever hated



Is the only one I’ve ever loved



And I’m so much more confused



Than you could ever know



My mind enjoys



This body’s suffering



But this body isn’t mine



It acts upon it’s own accord



When I’m as lost as always

Oh to be in such agony that feels as if it will never end. I pray this is a poem about the past on not what you are currently going through. Regardless, you've put it so plainly what suffering is, and my heart and prayers go out to you.

Your poem intrigues me... I am bi-polar and what you just wrote about is what I deal with every day.

This poem captures two elements - darkness because of what you felt to write this and light - because you had the guts to write it and publish it for the world to view.

Sometimes we have to express how we really feel. You've done this very well.
