Quiet Sin

Missing image
Self Mutilation...
Why do I do it?
I do it because it feels good.

Since I can't control the pain inside,
I can control the pain on the outside.

Self Mutilation...
Why do I do it?
because when the blood flows,
It reminds me that I am alive.

It is not suicide,
it is taking control.

Self Mutilation...
Why do I do it?

Because if I didn't,
I would emotionally die.

    this is very straight forward, and just lays out the facts. I like that, because it doesn't give all those things that most people are so quick to label emo. You gave the truth. Thank you!

    While this could be so emotional, it feels so dead.

    A good poem from the cutters point of view. It seems like it is written from the heart. And gives a powerful insight into the cutters world, good work and good luck

    Eye opener.

    This poem has opened my eyes to the cutting thing, I have a child that is doing this and I couldn't understand why, thank you very much for your entry.


    Since I can't control the pain inside,
    I can control the pain on the outside.

    Because if I didn't,
    I would emotionally die.

    It is not suicide,
    it is taking control.

    Wow, hits home!

      cutting

      If I have helped you or your child in any way shape or form then everything I have gone through and go through is worth it. I cannot take pain away, of course, but understanding makes it a little easier. There are a lot more people who do this than I ever thought and that is sad. I wish the best for you and yours.

    wow loved this poem, it was an awesome write about self mutilation and i loved the emotions in this poem,
    my favorite part would have to be:
    It is not suicide,
    it is taking control.

    Self Mutilation...
    Why do I do it?

    Because if I didn't,
    I would emotionally die.
