Bleeding Hope

Picture is mine. Drawn on 2/5/08 and the picture was taken on 6/29/08 so don't steal it!

Okay this is my 1st contest so you're all gonna have to take an easy on me!
What I'm looking for here are poems about cutting, suicide, or wanting to die. But I want them to be powerful, painful writes that come from the heart!
No cliche stuff that I have heard over and over again, I want you to make me feel exactly what you are feeling! Give me strong imagery, metaphors, and great flow! Points will be added if I see enough entries with these qualities!
Okay I'm allowing prewrites only because I know there are some really amazing writes out there waiting for a shiny new trophy! But new poems will definately get some brownie points here because I know how difficult it can be to come up with something on the spot!! By the way if it rhymes it better be damn good!

Alrighty now for the rules
1. No sTiCky CaPs!!
2. No erotica especially because this is not a contest that would need it!
3. Please try to leave religion out of this!
4. No Bashing
5. Put the words "crazy monkey" in authors notes, if it's not there I will be dq-ing!!
5. Have fun and be original!

Okay you know the rules and you know what I'm looking for here!
So get writing and be brilliant!!

  they are repulsed by the sight of her wrists covered in red liquid.
