I hurt myself again
So I can focus
On the only things that’s real:
The pain
As the memories come back
Of the past
Over and over again
I hope it won’t last
Overwhelmed by feelings
But not sure which is here
This time, or which will stay
But I fear
I fear for my life
I fear for my future
As I dwell on the past
As I look at the pictures
The tears won’t flow
The words won’t come
So I suffer in silence
But inside I’m so numb
I’m so empty
I’m so hurt
As I slice my wrists
Hope this time I hit something
But I’m no expert
Each scar has its own story
Each scar has its own pain
Each scar looks different
But in fact they’re all the same
Always the same blood
That seeps out of me
Always the same feelings
That take over me
It’s an addiction
It’s my only support
The only one who’s always there
In the times I need it most
When everyone is so fake
When everything’s unreal
It’s the only thing
That can make me feel
So I hurt myself again
So I can focus
On the only things that’s real:
The pain
i liked your poem. i know how you feel. i used to cut and i just quit like a few weeks ago. cutting yourself really don't help your problems it only makes you stop thinking about for only a lil bit of time but it always comes back. cutting will eventually lead you to losing friends. you really need to stop. i'm actually able to control the want and the need for it better than wat i was. i still want to though. but i'm trying to stop for good for my best friend dylan cuz he wants me to stop and he said that if i didn't he was gonna stop being my friend and i can't lose him again.....he's to special to me right now and i really care about him. but please try to stop cutting it's not gonna get you anywhere. it'll just make things worse and it'll hurt people all around you....trust me i know i've been through it for like 3 to 5 years. if you ever need anything anyone to talk to then email me at atreyu_rocks_hard@yahoo.com
