a cutters hymn

By mysticventures

I cut me
I make myself bleed
I cut me
And this is how I feed

I feed on your pity

I feed on disdain

I feed on my sorrows

I feed on the pain

I cut me
I make myself bleed
I cut me
And this is how I feed

I feed on my weakness

I feed on the feign

I feed on tomorrows

I may never obtain

I cut me
I make myself bleed
I cut me
And this is how I feed

I feed on my title

I feed on my reign

I feed on your empathy

I feed all the same

I cut me
I make myself bleed
I cut me
And this is how I feed

*sorry cutters (and those who would empathize with you) I have no use for your pathetic plea's for attention!!!!!

I, myself being a cutter/burner, do not look for sympathy from anyone. It is simply my escape from reality. I keep the scars hidden for LACK of attention. It is quite an emberassing thing to try to explain to someone, in fact.

After reading this quite "closed-minded" poem, I wrote a (hopefully) educating rant on the topic, myself. Perhaps you could read it and understand the real reasons SOME choose, for lack of better words, to become "cutters".

A former member wrote: Plea is spelled P-L-E-A. Sorry guys! I don't give a D-A-M-N about cutters either. But I can empathize with this poem.

I love the way you expressed this Mystic. I write a lot about 'cutting' I hope it never comes across as some kind of plea. I think my views on things are *slightly* deranged lol. Excellent write Mystic.. as always man. -Michael

It really is spelled plea.
A former member wrote: Lol, thanx Six, I think I need a nap. lol
A former member wrote: But at the same time I do believe that alot of it is in deed a plea for some kinda of attention. People just need to learn what is the attention plea and what one is the serious I need help plea.
A former member wrote: I can agree with both sides of this arguement. I do like this write though. I have been in the road of suicide numberous times in my past, but hey thats why I write now.

you have more patience than me my friend - perhaps more wisdom as well :)
A former member wrote: Its not wisdom Mystic just a general concern. I'm not much of one for coddling or giving cookie cutter statements of praise. Yet I do genuinely care about all of humanity if not for individual humans.

for a mystic - I am a cold realist - you can't save everybody - especially from themselves!
A former member wrote: No you can't. but I want to try.
On Sunday, September 19, 2004, Six-Out (1423) wrote:

I like this...who knows how many people I have sat down and talked with cutting, or out of suicide. I agree with you Zoph, I don't like the majority that are complaining, but I want to save as many as possible.
A former member wrote: I'll admit I am aggravated by the attention getters. Their hystrionics divert attention from those who may have a legitimate problem. My concern is telling the two apart.

I have yet to comment on a cutter's poem (however creative it may be) for a soon as I get the jist of what it is about I move on to something else!
On Sunday, September 19, 2004, mysticventures (527) wrote:

I am not so cold-hearted Zoph that I can't relate to their desperate circumstances - we have all been there at some point in time - it is the way in which they express themselves that I can't condone!
A former member wrote: Here I agree. While I can't say the thought never crossed my mind it was never an option. Fortunately I was far to arrogant to 'give up'. I only wish all possessed that particular sense of ego.
On Sunday, September 19, 2004, Six-Out (1423) wrote:

I agree with that statement 100% Zoph. I guess not all can see things through the same set of eyes though.

they have neither the balls nor the intention of killing themselves - thus they will not get my sympathy
On Sunday, September 19, 2004, Six-Out (1423) wrote:

I disagree with that statement. Killing one's self takes no balls. It's takes cowardice.
A former member wrote: In some cases it is neither 'balls' nor cowardice. It is a result of being mentally incapable of dealing with a constant state of stress or trauma.

Thus being weakness. But people argue that too.

they are not asking for help Zoph, they are asking for attention!!!
On Saturday, November 13, 2004, Savannah (218) wrote:

Some cutters aren't asking for ANYTHING. Some do it purely because they cannot cope with things that are going on in their lives/minds. To some, it is a release from... everything.
A former member wrote: On the majority I agree. Yet if there is one that is the exception. I merely express here that my concern is for the exception.
On Sunday, September 19, 2004, mysticventures (527) wrote:

I am talking about the 'cutter poets' - if they have that kind of creativity and expressiveness within them then they are not as desperate as they would like you to think they are!
A former member wrote: Here I have to respectfully disagree mystic. Many of my works and the works of many famous poets reflect their state of mind during the most desperate stages of their lives.

very true and well spoken Six

Hah, very nice. They feed on tears wasted trying to alter their way of life. If they cared, they'd change when the first tear fell from a loved one.
A former member wrote: Never mind those who may actually have a real problem in need of help and fall to extreme measures because no help was offered to them.
On Sunday, September 19, 2004, Six-Out (1423) wrote:

Help gets offered a lot...most shrug it off as people being dicks and assholes. So many just like throwing their problems out there, asking for help, but if they get it, they don't want it. *shrug*
A former member wrote: Unless you take the time to offer help to every single person who needs it how can you know that?

I said most, most being in the cases I've dealt with. No one can ever know on a whole.
