am i meant to feel ashamed?
because i feel the blood pour out?
am i meant to feel sorry
as the pain sweeps me away
is this small nick
just another in a long series of cuts?
is this bleeding baby
just another line in the portrait on my arm?
a cut is a cut
no matter where it is
no matter how deep it is
a cut is a cut is a cut
and this pain, well this pain is soothing.
but now the pain is gone, so tell me?
am i meant to feel ashamed,
for picking up the blade again?
Please tell me what you think

I like this poem. They are questions that I have asked two, and answers I have yet to find. Always write, take care and find out the answers.

Meh... not so much. I am not a fan of cutting and such. I have many feelings on it and they are all negative, so I will just move onto the next piece..

Because last I checked it was my choice to choose what I read. PLUS when I read "Portrait in my arm" I thought it was about tattoos. So why don't you grow up and stop jumping to conclusions and shit.

Mostly I object to the profanities. But theres nothing I really do about that, I don't really mind the fact that you commented it you did it in such a way that was pretty good. you could have not commented if you wanted to but hey -- it was your choice and i still appreciate knowing that in some places of this world, it isn't the "normal thing to do"
anywho - there are a few really good poems that i have that arnt about cutting, its just recently i've been going through a hard time and i post what i write.
blah, im rambling. i'll leave you to it. and this isnt a "me having a go at you" at least i hope thats not whats coming across. stopping talking now.

Umm, Grandmama, i think you made a typo there. but thanks for the comment.
"All I know is that one day the cut may be the last. I sure hope not."
*blinks*
unless you mean death, then it fits, but when i read it, it was more, one day the cut may be the last (putting down the blade)

i like this sweety never feel ashamed just try and get better
i love you so much
love ya sis -
I think that all too often self harmers and the like all try and blame society for making them feel ashamed, yet I believe it is the self harmer themselves. I know. I'm one of them. I believe it's all a part of the self hatrid; harm ourselves, make us feel useless, make us hate ourselves... make us ashamed of ourselves. I know I feel ashamed, maybe not always while I'm cutting, but definitly the next morning when I wake up and realise what I've done.
One more thing, if you're feeling ashamed, at least you're feeling and know you can still feel.
All my love hun. I love you.
Bandaid.

I didn't realize i was blaming society in this poem, i just wrote it and it came out.
-
-
I didn't mean that, I just meant that it's not ALWAYS societies fault that we feel bad.
-
-
im not trying to blame society in this poem though hunni,
-

Yeah but I get the feeling that you almost expect people to make you feel ashamed. Or for people to expect you to feel ashamed. That's what I get anyways, Luffers you.

Ahh yeah, i get where you're coming from. waffle you
