Rain

By Nesfurata

Everyday is a battle I don't want to face.
Cutting helps my mind escape this place.
Alone in the dark the razor cuts.
The door of opportunity permanently shuts.
I release myself; enveloped in pain.
Every night my blood falls like rain.

Living out my existence in this pitiful life.
My only friend is this sharpened knife.
I pay for my sins every night and day.
With every cut it all goes away.
I carry with in me this unbearable pain.
Every night my blood falls like rain.

This life I have is not worth living.
After all this pain I'm tired of giving.
I clench my teeth as my blood is shed.
I wake up everyday and try to move ahead.
I'm sick of the fighting, and I'm sick of the pain.
That's why at night my blood falls like rain.

    One of the best self-harming poems I've read on this site. "Every night my blood falls like rain" - dark, disturbing, yet so poetic.

    The scars which 'pon your plush skin - stain, are mem'ries from an old disdain, which seems to fall 'pom harken ears, and prey upon a poets fears, that one day thro the waxing dim, they too, may face that fear within. Excellent

    cutting is just like any other addiction really, a quick escape but no real progress from pain
