View Full Version : Feeling down..Wrote poems instead of cutting. Read them?

I was feeling angry and sad and really had the urge to cut. I ignored it the best I could and wrote 2 poems. I don't know how good they are. Just thought I'd share them with you :)

I Need Help

It's too late, don't you know?
the first cut has been made
I wish this was the last time
but deep in my heart, I know it's not

I've been writing love on my arms
I've been writing love all over my body
but no one seems to notice the stains
no matter how hard I try

Well I can't say it to myself
So I'll say it to you
but promise you won't tell
I'll hold you to your word
promise you won't tell
I need help

---------------------------------------------------

Cut

I don't bleed for the good
I don't bleed for the bad
I bleed for the in between

I don't hide from shame
I don't hide from fear
I hide from me

my name is cut
and I bleed
and I bleed

I wait for tomorrow
I wait for the pain
I wait for you

I am somber
I am sweet
I am hurting

my name is cut

I really liked the "I need help" poem, especially the second stanza (I've been writing love on my arms
I've been writing love all over my body
but no one seems to notice the stains
no matter how hard I try)
