Life is worthless
with no meaning at all
they expect us to be perfect
no mistake and no flaw.
why does it matter?
we live and then die
It doesn't make sense
why people care to cry
We're born for a reason
as some people might say
but life is completely useless
so it doesn't matter anyway
Grabs the knife over there
tell your life goodbye
you know it doesn't matter
whether you live or die
Life is nothing but a dream
for those that are dead
and even they don't like it
all it does is shred.

I wish you followed the word acrositc theme! If you did, I would have been able to medal you! Not only is this powerful, it hits home.
I actually just got out of the hospital yesterday, for reasons such as this. And what can I say, life is meaningless. But at the same time, even its meaningless is without meaning. Life offeres nothing inherently, and we all grow up thinking otherwise. You are going through what Martin Heidigger called Longing. Also his conception of angst(not the popular one). He was a philosopher who did his major work in the '20s.
The allure of cutting is god-damned attractive at times. It reminds you of your own facticity, or the fact that you and you alone can be proven to be real. And only to yourself. It eases the pain of floating in nothingness that you cannot define, with all these things seemingly battering you for no good reason. Its all absurd! It is absurdity and that just doesn't sit well. Why doesn't it mean anything? Because it doesn't.
There is a book you should try to read(I don't know your reading level, and you need to have great comprehension skills). It is called "Being and Nothingness" and its by a man named John-Paul Sartre. It was his major philosophical work. I am reding it currently, and it is amazing. It is about realizing the nothingness and turning it into a knowledge. When there is nothing to lose, there is your world to gain. It kind of makes the nonsense and utter absurdity of life make sense.
Also, if you ever want to stop cutting, you should talk to a doctor about a med called naltrexone. I take 50 mg a day. Its one of those off label uses to help dampen the urge to injure. It works well.
"We're falling/throught eternity/the clock is ticking/and your still counting sheep/youre still half asleep/theres no one coming/and theres no way out/ive been falling/and its so far down/shrouded beneath the vail of tragedy/when death comes calling, who will you believe/tell me who will you believe/when its down to you and me/will you still stay on your knees?/when its down to you and me/theres no one coming/and theres no wayout/ive been falling/and its so far down/theres no onew coming and theres no way out/thes no way out.../pushing me down breaking me theres always something pushing you down breaking you down/theres always something pushing you back pushing you back, right?!/Theres no one coming and theres no way out/ive been falling/ and theres no way out" -motograter
Its time to push back, its a fun game

A strong and dark piece, I can feel the emotion and power in this very well. The rhyme and rhythm help to make it strong.
Well penned,

A sad piece that leaves one wondering why.

In the end.. all we have is hope.
