PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

So many people think I'm okay,
normal at times.

But have they ever felt addiction,
one so dangerous, so overpowering?

I'm not talking about smoking,
not drugs or alcohol.

This one can seriously hurt,
it's so hard to fight.

Months have passed since I gave in,
I've fought that temptation well.

But how do I explain,
that I miss it?

I miss the sharp, cold feel of it,
the blade against my wrists.

Miss the stinging pain,
watching numbly as I bleed.

How do I ask for help,
with a problem that seems invisible?

Don't want to be locked away again,
or talk to counselors, they never understand.

How do I fight against an enemy,
that I can't even see?
