Self Harm.

I need a way
To relieve my pain
What I turn to
Is the sharp, silver blade.

It touches my skin
Crimson pours down my arm
This awful addiction,
Some call it self harm.

My thoughts disappear
The room starts to spin
As all my troubles
Release from within

The feeling is great
It's my own high
Hopefully soon,
This will end
Tonight.

    Fantastic!

    very well worded, this is very dark and expressive. I have really enjoyed reading this piece, you have done what i've been trying to do for ages. which is to write about self harm in a honest and moving way. excellent work

    good, creative ryhming.

    but, if you really do cut, yourself, well, i know what its like to be there, to be in that state.
    But im clean now. I you've maybe heard it before (i know i did) but honestly, u have to stop. Its amazing after you get through it trust me. If you ever need to talk, im here.
    that is though if you actually cut of course. but based on the insight you give in the poem, i'd say you either cut, or know someone very close who does.
