You think seeing my scars is tough
Try being the one who makes them
I would rather see them
Then be the one who does it
The one who takes that blade
And just slides it across
Seeing the blood ooze out
Watching it fall down your arm
And then afterwards having to feel
The sting and watching it welt up
As it forms into a bump
And then into a scab
Seeing them is easier than making them
Think about that next time
When you want to cry
Because you saw them on my skin
Do you think I cried?
When I craved those lines?
Yes as a matter of fact I did
And the pain I felt then
Was worse then when you saw
All you saw were the scabs
And the cat like Scratches
That's only half of the process
(The Better Half)

Well, I'd say it's a pretty in-depth anatomy of cutting - dark and brooding. YOu did it with graceful simplicity, which I like in poems, especially those with hard content (like suicide, abuse, cutting et cetera).
Seeing your own cutting scars is fine... for you, but people around may indeed think you're a freak... Well-written - jee, you're good!
One thing though, on the technical side in the line "Seeing them is easier the making them" shouldn't it be "Seeing them is easier than making them". Oh I'm just being meticulously nasty - sorry!
