"I can't hold on," I scream in agony,
You can't even see,
My true pain inside,
So I'll write my desolation on my wrists,
One cut, Two cut, Three cuts more!
I need this, I want this!
It subdues my tormentors,
I look like a stitch doll,
I feel like one too.
I'm a puppet,
My master the razor,
But it brings me relief,
It gives me a freedom I have never known before,
I have no boundaries,
Legs, arms, wrists, neck,
They all can be carved with my sign of misery,
Like a tatoo, the scars never fade,
A constant reminder of the pathetic girl inside,
But it is actually a form of art,
Little sketches in my flesh that hold feeling and determination,
Pain is a figment of the mind,
Blood is the eliquor of Gods and I am a servant,
Filled with pain!
Author notes
Everyone has a different view on cutting, it is not something people should do for attention, it is a serious drive like drugs and hurts like Hell.

i know this feeling more than i should... i stoped... till my aunt leaves no 1 cares so y should i i love this poem much!

Nice write. Cutting is nothing to be glorified. I have been there, and no one should ever do it for attention. I never cut for attention, but I know someone who did. She regrets ever doing it.
-
i agree, those who cut for attention truly need help. i recently stopped temporaroly that is. my boyfriend and soulmate made me a deal if i stopped cutting he would stop smoking (and i dont mean ciggarettes...)its been hard on us both but its been almost a month
-
-
Ya well I'm trying to quit too {cutting not smoking} because I don't want the person who hurt me the most to feel he has control over me. My boyfriend is a big support to me too so I think that's great and we have a lot in common!! ttyl
