All I can do is bleed,
Because the pain is what I need.
Blood is dripping down my arms,
Its ok, there is no harm.
The pain is all I feel,
It’s the only thing that feels real.
I cant think past the pain,
I believe I am slowly going insane
I need pain, pain needs me,
The blood is so bright and red to see.
I look to my arms, and see the lines,
don’t worry about me, I will be fine.
Soon the blood will stop, I will be okay
don’t say anything, there’s nothing to say
The cuts start to slowly close,
I pull down my sleeves, so no one knows.
I know all the uses of a knife,
I could use one to take my life
I could end it all, and make all the pain go away.
But I wont, but I know I will never be okay.

Hey you wrote a poem!!! Thanks for following the rules, do you think you can continue a theme from this into following rounds? Your first verse has a great rhythm, and I only wish you would have kept it consistant throughout the poem. Maybe in the next round you can try a constant rhythmed poem. But only if you want. Good luck, I'm betting you'll be advanced, because this poem is great

You did a really good write here, it's a very wonderful job I can relate to what you have written I haven't done this in along while either and poetry has become my new outlet but somedays I miss the cuts, the blood the pain but I know it's not right so I try not to do it but sometimes I wonder if I'll ever get trough it
