When will this hurt stop hurting?
This poem was created by me but my friend Zack also helped hope u like it:
These razor blades in my hand
People try to understand,
The pain inside the kind that i cannot hide
But why, oh why is this world so cruel?
These open wounds
upon my wrists
one can only imagine
this razors kiss
So sharp but sweet
bitter defeats
blood is dripping everywhere
Why do people continue to stare,
at the wounds i have so bare
This hurt inside my soul burns,
it burns like the fires in hell
Cut the skin and set it free
Set me free from myself
Now i am free
It feels so sweet
I can finally be at peace
These razor blades in my hand
People try to understand,
The pain inside the kind that i cannot hide
But why, oh why is this world so cruel?
These open wounds
upon my wrists
one can only imagine
this razors kiss
So sharp but sweet
bitter defeats
blood is dripping everywhere
Why do people continue to stare,
at the wounds i have so bare
This hurt inside my soul burns,
it burns like the fires in hell
Cut the skin and set it free
Set me free from myself
Now i am free
It feels so sweet
I can finally be at peace

This poem touched me. Cutting is a very hard thing to explain to people and every time I read a poem about it, explaining just one more reason and one more experience about it, I feel encouraged. Not because there are people cutting themselves (which, despite its temporary usefulness, isn't the healthiest coping strategy), but because it reminds me that I and others are not alone.
"So sharp but sweet
bitter defeats" <-- these two lines really capture the the love/hate relationship of cutting.

I have come to know a few people who actually cut themselves, and it's a sad thing for me to see. I will never understand the reasons why or the feelings as to how they feel afterwards. Yet I do feel really sad for the one's who do, do it. We all go through things in life and we all deal with it differently. I myself have always found pleasure in my writing, it has always made me feel better when I was done. Great writing here I do enjoy your work.
