Self infliction,
Has no cure.
It's my addiction.
That’s for sure.
Prevention is available,
You can distract yourself.
There’s rubber bands and cold ice block,
That are better for your health.
Writing helps from time to time,
To let the urge’s free.
But nothing will ever compare,
To what cutting does to me.
The sight of the blood calms me down,
The pain it make me smile.
It’s a rare type of happiness,
Found once in a long while.
You can avoid the horrid thoughts,
Thinking of your demise.
But forever will they reoccur,
Regardless of your cries.
Self infliction,
Has no cure.
It’s my addiction.
That’s for sure.

love it
this is exactly how it feels to be a cutter... and i just really enjoyed reading it! good job -
i never cut myself but only had the urge to twice, and only recently actually, but the people who are judgemental are just really small minded and the world is filled with them, if they cant understand and it doesnt fit normal to there every day life routine they will judge because they dont comprehend and open up, but yeh great write

I think the words themselves are well chosen, and well placed, and all you really need to do is proofread for a couple spelling mistakes and couple bits of missing grammar.
ie.
it(')s my addiction
the pain it make(s) me smile
etcetera

This is great. I dont really like cutting but then again I've never cut myself on purpose so I dont know anything about it. I do know that this is an awesome poem though. Really great job. Like I said, I dont but but I have addictions of my own which have no cure so I know what ya mean. Honestly I dont really know that its so much of and addiction though because in my oppinion an addiction is something you dont like but cant give up and the way it seems to me is you like cutting. I dunno maybe I'm just crazy. Thats probably it. But I think that you could quit if you wanted to its just that you dont want to. At least that how it is with me. Or maybe thats just what I have convinced myself of. Anyways this poem was awesome.

yeah i see what your saying... ill explain it as best i can. for me, i like cutting, when im doing it i like it. as soon as i stop i no im a dick head, im a lsoer, i shouldnt of done it and i hate myself for doing it. it takes alot of strength to stop, because its something that makes things feel so much better.it calms you down, it relax's you, and stops all the pain bottled inside you from hurting. it probably sounds crazy to you, but thats the way it makes me feel. so i like it wen im doing it. but i hate the scars i hate that i dont have the strength to stop!
anyway thats for the comment, if u wanna tlka Im me
love HB

I love the poem. I know how you feel. The site of the blood is a calming relief. It is a symbol of control for me. I love the way you expressed yourself in the poem. Other things don't compare to what cutting does. It really is an addiction. Take care and keep up writing.
