Temptation

Did you see the pain in my eyes?
creeping inside of me

              becoming
 
  falling

                away from me it goes...



Did you see that I was strong?
in every single tear that slipped

                  overpowering

        strengthening

        enough to be weak...



Did you see my last resort?
cut away from me

            dieing

        screaming

              yet still no release... 



Did you see my body is tainted?
a constant reminder

            faded

  jaded

                the addiction isn't free...

Author notes

When dealing with the temptation to cut, I have to be strong to be weak and give in to just shedding a tear. I've been cut free for two years, but this addiction seems to never go away. It slowly fades like the scars I have. Not a very dark poem, but it's the darkest side of me, constantly tearing me apart.

    Well it was dark enough for me. I understand the temptation you have. I even being 12 cut. Deep depression is what caused mine. Getting to the poem this was a great wtire about tempation. I thought it was going to get DQed because it had 40 lines but they're just spaces. Great job and thanks for entering.

      yeah sorry! It's says 40 lines but thats just how i did the structure for it. Thanks for the comment! I don't really consider it much of a dark poem i know i can write much darker. Thanks for the opportunity though!
