modern day bloodletting
By the broken
i cut my myself yesterday just to feel the blood escape
i love it when the pain and sorrow leaves my veins
when i forget all the memorys that cause the strain
when i get that feeling of bliss inside my brain
that feeling that i am safe
tucked away in some other place
but the the moments gone quick and you got demons to face
you walk to the mirrior
to wipe away, all of the blood and the tears
and there you see, all of your mistakes
anyone you ever hurt, anyone that hurt you
and you just hope that it all will be over soon
so you resort to the liquor
to drown them away
or a little drugs
to be safe for the day
but they always come back
and instantly they attack
so again you resort to the blade
and repeat the process that your pain has made
till the day, you cut just a little too deep
and then you have to fall into a enternal sleep
six feet in the ground counting thousands of sheep
above it no one cries no one makes a peep
all thats left of you is memory
and a small tombstone that reads
"my life was horrid filled with sorrow
there was never a day i looked forward to tomorrow
no body ever helped me, lent me a hand, or gave me just a little love
that is why i sit in this casket it fits like a glove
surrounded by bodies memories with only stone
forever in this cemetery i never have to be alone"

Well hello there, I had no idea you existed until now. Just came across your work by share luck, rolling the dice, but it took me here of all places what are the odds of that? Anyhow as for this read you did a wonderful job painting imagery with your words, the next time you feel like cutting message me instead. Looks like you'd like to work on the talking thing so if you'd like to, you can talk to me. I still don't think cuttings worth it, I've never had to or thought about it but I had a friend once that did and its because of her that I wrote the poem "Agony," similar to this one. Anyhow I'm up to talk when ever so don't hesitate, thank you for sharing and take care of yourself.

cutting only shows your scars on the outside. I won't heal the once you put yourself through each and everyday. The key to happiness is being strong enough to forgive yourself. I was tortured as a child, I thought numberous times of taking a cut to the wrist. My scars are both inside and out. I couldn't stand the sympathetic looks from others. We are the hardest onto ourselves. There isn't a damn thing on this earth more distructive then the judgment of inside yourself. Your poem made me stop for a moment and reflected how I am now compared to when I was younger, and I wouldn't change a damn thing because I made myself strong. Keep writing keep faith in the fact that you are strong enough to put pain into words.

The euphoria is only the hypoxia created by lack of oxygen to your brain I do believe. It always gets harder around the holidays, cheers!
