Cutting Remarks - A Collection Of 21 haiku about Self Harm

 
1. Wit
 
a razor-sharp wit
mixed with bipolar mood swings
as I slice my skin
 
2. Carved
 
carving love on skin
the razor burns, bleeds and sears
Proud, her initials
 
3. Trinity
 
three slit trinity
lets the blood let flow downwards
no demons come out
 
4. Stress

the stress escapes
with knives precision cut
but the all just heal
 
5. Taste
 
the taste of my blood
its bright red scarlet colour
where lipstick should be
 
6. Final
 
one day final cut
in a bathroom, scented candles
A life's wick snuffed out
 
7. Gateway
 
don't be fooled or conned
cutting is a progression
ready for suicide
 
8. Deeper
 
cut my flesh deeper
her initials start fading
in remembrance  
 
9. Doodling
 
slicing a pattern
doodling with a razor's edge
it is who you are
 
10. The Man
 
cuts solve nothing
you're only hurting yourself
it's what the man wants
 
11. Lone
 
solitude leads to
Loneliness time alone
that's when we do it
 
12. Broken
 
mind and soul broken
tears are replaced by blood trickle
that's why we do it
 
13. Brave
 
those who do not cut
have never been brave enough
takes some courage
 
14. Stop
 
the only way to
stop me cutting and slicing
is warm hugs and love

15. Solution
 
one who's really loved
doesn't continue to cut themselves
it's the solution
 
16. Multiple

I've cut many times
I'll turn into Spirograph
before love calls me
 
17. Numb
 
I am used to blood
I can't really feel the pain
my heart is broken
 
18. Art
 
the pink and crimson
palette for paint and design
I'm a work of art
 
19. Without
 
those without real love
cut letting the blood trickle down
no love means no point
 
20. Addiction
 
self-harm commands you
it's just like an addiction
I can't stop, won't stop
 
21. Retort
 
they say "Do Not Cut!"
my retort the same "Fuck You!"
my blood spilt for them
