Popular Poems About Self Harm

What makes me wonder
Is not why writers and poets
So young and old
Succumb to emptiness.  
 
It is the lives they had lived
Under the bright sky.  
Things they must have seen  
To mold those words of bitterness.  
 
From Homer’s Olympus heights
To Byron’s mountain of light.  
From the banks of a gushing Nile
to the flows of the Mississippi might.  
 
Mountains, rivers, hills, and streams
Have molded words and wondrous dreams.  
Dripping blood mixed with ink
Together they form a hidden...

Wretched but beautiful
My eyes see you but I look away
Throw yourself into a den of lions
I'll bring the popcorn and goobers
Will they eat you or spit you out
Your flesh is bitter and diseased
To much negativity and malignancy
How can one walk around with such a tainted soul?
Bless yourself in my river of urine
That's what I think of you anyway
Take it, accept it
That's all your worth
Go home and drown yourself in your bottomless, endless self pity
Have a great weekend
