If you were there you'd know
When my cutting started so,
if you want to know anything about me at all
You need to watch me as I fall.
Because cutting is a part of me
Who I am, my sane insanity.
It's stupid yes but think like this,
Have you ever tried to cut your wrists?
It's pain that I don't have to give to others
And the scars are to remind me why I'm a cutter.
Because if there isn't a trace of what went on
You won't remember when the pain is gone.
Cutting is an addiction too,
It's just as much a part of the rules.
Like a smoker, a druggie, or a drunk
I need my fix also.
So next time I tell you I want to cut
Please don't tell me "It's stupid, shut up."
Hopefully now, you'll understand
That cutting is my get out plan.
Author notes

Wow. This is really beautiful.
The only thing I find a little off is this stanza:
"Cutting is an addiction too,
It's just as much a part of the rules.
Like a smoker, a druggie, or a drunk
I need my fix also."
The rest of the poem has great rhyme and this part seems out of place.
That's not to say it's not a fabulouse poem, it most certainly is.
The words are penned beautifly!
Congrats on losing your addiction!

Great write luv. I usually do not read this type of poem, but this is well written. I'll try not to judge anymore.
(If you ever feel you need the fix, I'll be your fix.

Wow, very good work!
I like the flow,
and I have a past with cutting,
so I do relate to the piece.
Good work!
I really like it! -
I can just relate to this so much. I used to be a cutter as well, and this is like just what I was trying to say to people who didn't understand - still have to say it sometimes, if I meet new people and they see my scars, but the scars are a part of me, and my reminder, and everything.
I love this.

A great job of writting. Very poetic way to give enlightenment and encouragement to someone in a situation you have overcome. Glad that you have overcome this and can now help others.
