The night I cut my depression away

Shines, blinds my face, the drip, the knife, the blood the taste... the everlasting anguish of how i feel, am i real?
I cut in deep, and draw it back, i see my skin split and crack, i see it rip from side to side, i wonder if im alive inside...
I throw it down onto the floor, it calls my name, it wants me more... i cuddle my legs and hold my arm i protect my whole from my own self harm.
I mop the mess, i cover it up, i turn on the sound of angels singing, or watch the pain that TV's bringing... it reminds me why im like i am... why the world gave up on me... gave up on me... it gave up on me!
Shines, blinds my hurt... makes me want it again... can i stand the pain?

The door opens and out of the hall floods the light of tears, they rush to me they grab me they care... for me?
They throw away the shine, they throw it out and no longer am i blind. They stay with me all day all night... they watch over me, keepers of my light... these are true they are friend, to them my suffering, it must have an end...

And now its gone the sound of hell, burning in my ear, cursed, spell...
I am set right and i am balance, i am strong and i am valour...
Again you ask... once more for old times sake?

If i said no, i would be fake...

    i like how this is rhyme, but its not set up like other poetry. its like prose but with rhyme in it. that was great.
    also, this came in stages while i read it. that was pretty cool.

    good job.
    good luck.
