cutting

I have grown to use razors or anything sharp for that matter,

for the relief and comfort they bring.

Something that others just can't seem to understand.

Looks of shock,disgust,piti, and anger...

I have gotten them all.

Still this friend, yet enemy, that cuts at my flesh,

the one that brings pain and drips of red...

is the same thing that ends my pain and brings relief..

for that one moment.

Many can't seem to comprehend

why one would do such horrid thing.

I once did, but now I know the answer..

the feeling of being in so much pain.

hurting so much and losing control.

later being ended by the harm inflicted on oneself.

I cannot end this for it has become a part of me..

look under my sleeves..and you will see...

the sadness that lies beneath.

I enjoyed reading this poem for the fact that I know what you mean. I know what that feels like.

P.S. I got the e mail you sent but no chance to read it. It was deleted by a co worker before I could read it. So if not too much to ask can you please e mail me, what you did before? I'd appreciate it. Thank you (You can delete this if you'd like. lol)

"this friend, yet enemy"
that's so true.
"I cannot end this for it has become a part of me.."
