I read the all poems
And they sound the same
Like they were written by one person
Who couldn’t end the pain
We think no one understands
We think we are alone
But just look around
See the unknown
And you’ll realize
There are people
Who are just like you
And know exactly
The kind of Hell you’re going through
Why do we always feel alone
When so many people out there
Who are just like us
In the same despair
We are the ones who don’t understand
We don’t see other’s pain
We lock ourselves in our little worlds
And think no one else is the same
Author notes
Okay, I know its not great but hear the story behind it. I've been reading a lot of poems about cutting lately and they all sound the same, basically. Most of them are about being alone and no one understand. And I'm not saying they aren't good but I'm saying, if everyone who wrote a poem about cutting read someone else's poem about cutting, they would see that they are a lot a like. Probably. Its just a theray. Plus people, its one in the morning, and I'm sick, I don't know why I'm even up. Going to bed. Night.

Amazing.
The kind of ironic thing is sometimes you don't need someone that has been through the exact same things and has the exact same perspective. Sometimes the opinion of someone who doesn't always exactly know is better. Well I think so anyways. =)<3 ya!

dude, u hit this nail right on the head with that big ol' hammer
i think theres more cutting/depressed poems than even love poems out there, which is kind of disturbing if you think of the disproportionate number of unhappy people to happy people out there
nice poem
so many people need to rediscover the joy in living
maybe you could start some kind of a group or something for support for these people, as you seem to be sympathetic and have some degree of an understanding of this issue? -
I like this, all the poems about cutting are pretty much the same, and we all still feel alone. lol Oh well...I guess that is part of it, we are alone b/c we aren't really looking for ppl to help us out. Great write! Thanks for sharing.

I like it
I gotta keep this comment short and sweet though because it's almost two and I'm also sick and off to bed.

yup...sometimes I feel that way when I read other people's poetry. anyways, as for commenting on your writing - this flows very well and the wording is great. the idea and concept behind this poem is very original...it's very emotional and deep without being cliche (spelling?) I ejoyed it!

THANK GOD!!!!
I cannot tell you how relieved I am that someone shares my opinion! It seems Like eveery contest I have I get:
Why is love so complicated,
It ruined my whole damn life,
Love is so fucking overrated,
It is time to use my knife.
::stabs self with spork repeatedly to end mediocre poetry torture::
I think if you want to write about cutting that's FINE, just do it ORIGINALLY! Let's say it together: ORIGINALITY!!! It's that thing, that thing not many in our generation have.
sheesh.
thanks for getting that out of my system.
i feel muchos better. -
Very nice poem! I love the idea behind it and I hope people get the point and begin to think...truth is, alone as we may feel hardly anyone really is.......
The rhyming is great, I found this easy and pleasant to read.
Good Job!

This is a good poem! I contradict with it though! We know that there are other people around us that cut and everything else! And we don't do it just because we see or hear someone is doing it! We do it because we have pain and or hurt that needs to get out of us and we feel that bleeding it out is better than hurting someone else! We know there are poeple out there just like us! But sometimes...alot when we are writing poetry we feel alone inside...not necessarily by whats around us! people who do it because of other people really don't know what it is like for those of us who actually have reasons besides I heard or saw that that person was doing it! I do see where you are coming from but we all have different stories...and only if everyone knew what was really behind the poems...and we don't always want to spend hours telling the stories! Anyways...I do not cut anymore...but I used to so I know how it is! Great Poem though....I see where you are coming from! God Bless!

This is a very true poem. You make great points. Good job on this, it's good to know that those who hurt so much are not alone.

Very interesting poem. You stated the truth in a way that was not only clear, but also helpful in making people think about the subject at hand. The first and last two lines are the best, which is good because they are important parts of the poem.
I definitely see where you're coming from. I like that fact that rather than getting pissed off about the fact that they all the same, you point out that maybe people could help each other.
Very nice work. -
very true

Great and Very True
Wow this poem is good. I really liked it. Yeah most poems are saying the same thing..just worded diffrently. Some better than others but still...LOL!!!! I think there are alot of poems about cutting because there are more cutters these days. What happens is people see other kids cutting, so they do it. Trust me I know because I started cutting, and got all of my friends into it. And I feel horrible for doing that. But anyways yea..Great poem. Keep up the excellent writing :-)
