Pain

Cause me pain
tear my flesh
time and again
bleed to red
Digging deeper
into me
cold hard steel
sets me free

Tear me open
cut me up
tie me down
burn my flesh
open my eyes
to the windows above
pain pleasure me
set me free

Screaming inside
can't get out
hidden from view
full of doubt
soul's in anguish
how can I
set myself free
can't you hear me?!

Shards of glass
save me from myself
give me rebirth
as the bird from the ashes
soul aflame
hole in heart
without this pain
I fall apart

    WOW, I loooove that. I like how it has metaphor, but its also upfront, so I understand what it's saying. Beautiful write. Good luck in the contest!

    good

    i'm getting the impression you know self mutilation, and quite possibly first hand... are you alright? i've never cut myself for just any reason, i in the past would cut myself an X specifically in my left forearm to remind me of a sin i commited against someone i cared about, was a rare situation but i thought it to hold a bit more honor than to cut myself just cuz i'm sad and i want to die, when i'm like that i just scratch myself and cry for a few hours, then eventually i run out of tears and listen to rammstein while eating ice cream...

    Wow, this is really good, and kind of sounds lyrical. A lotof dark emotion, and that's something that I can relate to a lot. I liked the layout of this, and it was easy to grasp and understand. Wonderful job, and keep up the nice work.
