Looky here.
Another scrape?
And, darling, what's your excuse this time?
You don't have a fence.
You're cat's declawed.
Deceit is sin.
Baby, I did it for you.
You killed me.
And I want to show you the pain.
Witness the fear on the canvas.
So pale,
Yet so dark.
Oh, you silly little child.
Attention is all you want.
Show off the slices,
And have pity me sessions.
Your ridiculous in what you're doing,
And your insecurity seeps through your sleeves.
Sir, it's my decision.
It was done all in pure fear.
No agony involved, sir.
For it is what I want.
It gets me through the suffering,
And later it will get me through life.
Oh, missy, you think cutting will solve your problems?
That's for the fainthearted,
And the confused.
Smile, darling, and get through your day.
When I say I love you to death,
I don't mean literally.
Deary, there's more that meets the eye.
See, by going through what you call a phase,
I grow.
I develop into the person you wanted.
I get through this myself,
And find the silliness behind my mask.
Now, thank you for helping,
But I think I found my way.

it's written in a conversation, kinda. each odd stanza is someone talking to the person in every even stanza.

Is this pro cutting or anti cutting? It seems like it's both.. I really liked it and I normally don't like poems like this. I like how you did the conversation though it as a little hard o figure out. Great write.

It was both?
More of a self-discovery thing, and you need to make your mistakes to realize things.

I love this poem so much! Maybe because it's something I've struggled with for so long... and I still am.
I like where you said "It gets me through the suffering, And later it will get me through life."-- words can't even describe to you how much I relate to that.
seriously an AMAZING POEM!... and I like how you did it like a conversation.
great job and keep up the good work!!!

Nice. I really liked "And your insecurity seeps through your sleeves" and "Witness the fear on the canvas." I like the optimism of the last stanza, too. Like it all, really, but those were the things that jumped out at me. ^_^
