Needles

To the weak it may cause, a bit of alarm.
When I stick the needles into my arm.

I pull them out, to some degree.
Anymore tugging, my blood will run free.

It only hurts for the first little bit.
At the rate I am going, I will never quit.

I push them back in, they go through my vein.
The exertion I'm using is causing me pain.

Pushing up through my skin, the needles go through
I think this is how I'll remember you.

    Well... this piece definately is an interesting way of self mutilation... never heard of the needless before. I'm such a belonephobic... I hate needless. So I give you some credit for being able to do something like that. Great poem. I really liked it. Take care.

    Do you know how many people suffer, and can never show it, much less right about it. I'm first to admit I am old. You young people, have what I think, is a healthy way of showing the pain you are in. Some of us hide it so well, that all around us think everything is fine. Our death may not come from a physical abuse, but the emotional abuse, kills us slowly from the inside.
