It's 1:21AM
I am sitting on my bedroom floor
Tissues full of blood surround me
I am wounded
My nerves are flared
And my judgements impaired
Scared of what I just might do
My own blood is on my hands
Who will save me, from me?
I tell myself scars will fade
A sense of comfort with each cut made
It's not suposed to be this way
An I can rationalize it forever and a day
This IS normal, normal to me
But this high I get, it sets me free
A burn I've never made
As sober as I am
I will attempt more control
More sorrow I will gain
A habit so wrong, named insane
A razor blade
So common to me
My best friend
My worst enemy
Trying to cut myself out of me
Torture is what I seek
Scars and pain, I'm so weak
I want more but I'm scared to go on
In fear someone might see
In fear, fear of me
-Amanda Bentley

| This is so very sad for you. I wish there was something I could say...someone could say to make you stop torturing yourself in this way. I hope you are seeking some professional help. I wish you peace. Excellent write on something I have a hard time understanding. I carved into myself once with glass as a teenager....scars are pretty much faded away. I was angry...really angry...I felt the need to feel pain. Banged my head on the walls before. But you know it never really helps...it is only a temporary release of pain....with pain. Talk to a professional.....get some help. I am 41 and still deal with a lot. But meds and counseling can help. Best of luck. Laura |

| Painful write, those words are scary, lots of fear write. I really never knew about cutting until I came to this site, I know in my time back when, people used to cut their skin slightly with needles thread and ink to make home made tatoos, just for show. Keep writing, it is a good tool to help out with all kinds of emotions. Hugs from Raquel Leah |
