Beau

Sometimes the lines don't flow easily into one another after the line breaks, but this is a lyrical poem with some lovely expressions and a killer last rhyming couplet. Thanks for teaching me a new word in "esurient" by the way. I'd never heard that one before.
I'm not sure we need the introduction. Unless the poem is in the "self" category, no-one should assume that it's specifically about you, and I think the reader should make up their own minds regarding what they take from a poem, but that's just my opinion of course.

I was thinking of writing an "About me" here when these lines started coming to my mind. I write such weird things when I start feeling the way I don't want to, when I start being the way I don't want to be, those lines in [] were just a reminder for myself that I would never want to hurt myself when I am in my usual sane state of my mind. No doubt they distract the normal flow of emotions in this poem, so I kept them apart. I wish there were some way in which only I could see the intro and other readers could not. On the other hand, maybe, leaving it as it is would portray the dilemma that cripples my mind very often.  
 
esurient, i think, stands for greed that is fuelled by hunger. i added it for a euphonic effect as well. Blame it on my GRE preps, I have learnt some really baffling words lol.  
 
Thanks for the constructive criticism!

You could always put such information in an "Author's Note" comment at the end of the poem. That's what I always do.

'[This is not about me.  
This is about the one  
I don't want to be.]  

To sink deep and tell  
The seething story of a silent hell  
That embodied this virgin life  
Romancing the edge of a rusting knife' There's such a sudden beat to this, it keeps the pace even when the emotions are slow, my favourite part is the beginning. The inner torture of those three lines are almost perfection. Good job, Akaran, and welcome.

Glad you liked the beginning, i was in two minds whether to keep it or lose it.
