Cauterize this wound
and I will be human...
This red river that flows
due to self loathing...
Press the cold clean blade
against my surface...
Staunch the flow
of needing to be hurt...
Knife out the hatred
that poisons my blood...
Even though the scars
will be there in the morning...
Even the ones that don't exist
to show where I'm really broken...
Please tell me what you think

Every time I read a poem about SI/suicide, one of two things come to mind:
"Not another emo-cliche!'
or
"i really feel for this person", which is what I was thinking here. Not pity or anger, but rather, that I understand. My boyfriend is an ex-cutter, so I know it's not an easy habit to break, but I believe that most people who SI do so because they want to live.
This is beautiful, sweetheart. Even though I don't know you, or your reason/s for self-injuring, I wish I could give you a big hug right now. It takes a strong person to be able to share something so personal, and I applaud you for being that person.
My heart goes out to you, darlin'.

Thank you
Thank you for your kind comment... I have been doing this for several years... I have tried finding other ways to cope, but can't seem to find anything that works as well as cutting... however, I have not cut for a little over a month... I think I"m getting better. But the thing is... I've gone through spells like this several times, where I think I'm getting better and then I have a relaps... Thank you so much for reading and commenting on this... *Hugs you tightly* -

Well, I'm glad, love. Any step away is a step in the right direction
I won't say that cutting is the 'wrong' way of dealing with pain, and I don't condone the practice; however, I understand that everyone has his/her own ways of coping. If you ever need to talk, I'm here
