Die

Tears on the pillow
Blood on the pin
Control through pain
Can't hold it within.

Did the right thing
Asked for the aid
Ignored by them all
Except for the blade.

If you pay no attention
It will just go away
Theory of the ignorant
Fills with dismay.

They see the marks
Just like before
But if disregarded
It won't be anymore.

Sliced the skin
Forced to feel
Empty inside
Use it to deal.

Remember the fear
Remember the hate
Remember the pain
Now its too late.

Scratched in the skin
Red and so scary
Remnant of the hurt
So hard to carry.

Know its dreadful
No longer care
No one to talk to
Filled with despair.

Suffering alone
Bleeding to cry
Slowly engraved
One word, 'Die'.

    This is really great work. Not many people can express these feelings you have revealed with the dark yet flowing grace that you've shown. You have wonderful talent.

    This is great. The words flow so easily, and the rhyming doesn't get into the way of anything. If you like these poems, read my Kill Me. I think you'd enjoy it as it mirrors what you feel in this one.

    I can appricate that your words fit so nicely together, mine do not. The only thing is that you may have over used the word remember, but this is also don't on purpose..so yeah. the last stanza is simply amazing....

    The beat you have on here is hypnotic, eerie. Like short breaths, or a heatbeat...The rhyming was great the majority of the time. I LOVED the last stanza, "Suffering alone
    Bleeding to cry / Slowly engraved / One word, 'Die'". It was so beautiful!

    Wow!! This poem is totally awesome! I love the flow and the rhymes are great!! I also really love the size of each of the stanzas. The shortness just makes it better!!!! I loved the lines:
    Ignored by them all
    Except for the blade.
    Awesome, awesome, awesome, awesome!! I really loved this one. I will bookmark it and give you an applause!!!

    Self harm seems unproductive but that what the monster in my head thinks he would get more out of watching the sick fuck
    I liked the simple form of this it started ran its course and finished well done

    Ooh. Nice. Especially the last stanza. I feel guilty about pointing out that spelling mistake in your contest now, but hey, it made me check your poetry out, and I'm glad that I did. Good job. Strikes a few chords... Only thing I can really criticise is that 'scary' and 'carry' don't rhyme as well as the other rhyming couplets in it. Perhaps
    "Scratched in the skin
    The violent red tear
    Remnant of the hurt
    So hard to bear"
    Though of course, it could then be taken as tear as in 'tears we cry' rather than tear as in 'rip and tear'.
    Regardless, I liked your poem a lot. Keep writing.
