Pain, why are you here?
You never go away
You feed off of my fear
Returning everyday.
You slash into my skin
Twisting deeper and deeper
Over, again, and again
Drinking each frozen tear.
I loathe what you do to me
Why don't you stop
Trying to send me over the edge of reality
Through the evil that you taught.
Now i have to sew my own skin
To keep me together
And then the truth sinks in:
I will not live forever.
My impulse is to end
The madness in my life
And what better place to begin
Than ending with a knife?
I take it to my wrist
And i dig deep in
Pain, you're never coming back
Never, ever again.

i love this! ....the intensity and i lvoed the second stanza and second last stanza. GREAT work....beautiful.

good. I particularly like the line "Now i have to sew my own skin to keep me together". I think its quite original. I like the rhyme and part-rhyme it gave a quirky feel to the poem.

I love it
I love it, the truth in this peice is so real! I am so speechless. This is a wonderful write! Keep it up!
-
I relate to this so much. The pain and emotion that you describe is something I feel nearly every day. The last stanza in particular touched me. So well written!
-
I can understand where your coming from. The pain in my life is constant emotional and physical. It seems like it will never go away unless I do one thing. Great write.
-
I definatly can understand where you are comeing from. I live a similar life. Pain consumes the body and, sometimes, some pain can mask or coceal other types. We all have our own release, our own coping skill.
You did a great job getting the emotion across in this! The flow was nice, making this poem easy to read.
I felt your pain!
Excelent job! Good luck!
-
thats just it though.... you cant escape pain, you can cut all you want but its not going to stop all the pain, you cant fix internal emotions by phyical abuse---trust me ive tried for many years and just now realized that im still very very fucked up in the head and displaying it on my arms any further would be worthless, because it doesnt make the pain stop--it makes you forget while you concentrate---but pain always comes back..... unfortunitley

-
very good!
oh wow i love this, especially the ending that was perfect! great work im impressed it flows so well, nice work
-
I loved this. It inspires imagination and a lot of emotions. It's one of those poems that a lot of people wouldn't allow into their contests because of the suicide and cutting - but for reasons such as the beauty in this poem I always allow it. This was wonderful! More then words can describe! I wish you the best of luck in my contest
-
Great rhyming. I really thought that it made this flow so well. I loved this, and good job.
