Do you know any...

[Love.Hate]

So for my GCSE drama i have to do a devised piece on "changes".
My group have decided to do a piece on Self harm and mental illness..
And we need a stimulus.. a song, poem, quote about SH..

So any ideas?

Thankyou :)

Short term gain, long term pain :confused:

Short term pain, short term gain, long term... Your Fucked

You could substituet Fucked for Screwed or something similar.
They are just some of the things I tell myself :whoops:

I actually based an entire musical on it. I got the idea to write it from this song.

the way she feels by between the trees is a good song to try

[MadManWithaBox]

My skin by Natalie Merchant would be good.

I found this on another website, I love it.

You called me an Angel, There must be a twist.

I've not seen an Angel with scars on her wrists,

Or blood seeping down from deep cuts in her arm.

Have you ever seen an Angel selfharm.



An Angel who writes about horror in hell,

And darkening poems with stories to tell.

I thought they were beautiful and flew with white wings,

My lullaby is not what an angel sings.



Welts of cruelty leaving their tread,

Skin not white but a glistening red.

My dress is stained, it's ripped and torn,

My eyes are dull, my expression is worn.



An Angel well surely they live without pain,

No crying or screaming or hurting again.

No strangled whispers of slow broken song.

An Angel you say, Im afraid you are wrong.

I think the Good Charlotte song mentioned earlier is good.
Also Dan Le Sac the magicians assistant :)
Good luck with your drama

Scars by Papa Roach. I know it's already been mentioned but i had to consolidate that.
How she feels by between the trees too.
Breaking the Habit by Linkin Park.

You're brave to do that. I'd never be able to get up in front of people and act about self harm. :S

between the tree's- the way she feels

sia- breathe me

plumb- damaged

Just found this aswell. "self injury is a way to cope, so unless you have lived my lifehush, because the scars on the outside aren't as many as the scars on the inside"
