blood drips to the floor.
she stares at her arm.
on the inside she is screaming at herself,
"what the fuck have you done?"
this always happens.
but only after the deed is done.
she doesn't remember why, or when she started.
she just knows that it takes the pain away,
for those few precious moments.
those few moments are the ones she,
treasures, dreams about, lives for.
for if she didn't have those precious moments,
she would be dead.

This is so powerfuul. I uused to harm myself and I feel lucky I never made a serous mistake costing my life. I may of hated it then, but I realize I had a blurred vision of my life.

Great poem. A few errors (typos that is) But a great write. Cutters I have talked to think the same way. They do not want to do it and ask why afterward but they do it so they can not feel the pain of life. Awesome write

First off, there is two O's in blood. (1st line.) Also, in the second to last line, it's spelled "Sane".
Now to the contest. I'm sorry, but this may come off as harsh. I don't like cutting poems. To me, they're just cliche rants. And, quite honestly, that's what I saw here.
However, I do understand this poem. How the physical pain numbs the emotional pain, which is much worse. So I do understand it. You got the message out clear, and remember, I have just one person's picky tastes.
Keep writing =) -
Wow

I've heard so many people ask why do others cut? They'll understand how the physical pain masks the emotional pain because the emotional pain is far less tolerable, it always has been, it always will be.
