Broken pieces
to a full length mirror
memories shattered
a bloody tear
so much pain
as she falls on the glass
red pours from scars
of her tainted past
one more prick
one more stab
one more scrape
one more scab
She watches everyone else
as they cut themselves
she sits there thinking
what in the hell
Are they not hurting enough
she thinks "i am"
why scar yourself
suffer from your own hand
she has deep scars
cuts that bleed
but other people did it
her hands were free
Do you cut to remember?
I promise that you will
Don't make marks for memories
i promise this is real

cutters make me so sad
they allow the ones who hurt them enough to see their pain
so deeply that it shows on the outside too
giving the ones that hurt others even more power
sad isnt it

This topic is so real and deep. It is great to see that you know the raw truth. Just because you have a slash in your wrist, it doesnt make the pain ease up any. It doesnt make it go away or be forgotten, it brings it back, and it brings it back worse. Pain runs beyond just your veins. This is a good poem, you did fantastic with it. As always =]

wow this is so real and i can feel the emotion..but as far as cutting goes it is a sense of control for some and the ability to feel for others. so all in all great job

This poem has great flow, I wish you all the best luck with getting married just don't expect it to be easy, it's not but there is nothing richer than love. I have no regrets, still hold on tight to your dreams that the only way to become truly satisfied. The thing about love is that it can hurt more than you've ever hurt so remember what a gift you are and love your husband unconditionally. Much love and best wishes
