My scars tell a story that needs to be told
The creases in my life are about to unfold
As the blade cut slowly into my skin
I closed my eyes and took a deep breath in
I thought of the people tearing away at my soul
And I realized my last bit of happiness had taken its toll
I stared at the blood trickling down and heard the voices
As it flowed silently, they reminded me of all the bad choices
Each drop of blood was equivalent to a tear
For I was trying to diminish any ounce of fear
I let go of the knife and grabbed hold of my wrist
My arm started to shake so my hand made a fist
I laid my head back to let the pain sink in for a while
And for no reason at all, upon my face came a smile
I glanced again at my cut that wouldn't stop throbbing
Then swept over me, uncontrollable sobbing
I wished that my life would simply end
My heart alone, it could not mend
I was in a dwelling of misery that seemed inescapable
Starting all over, I was not capable
I had too many things to think about
I finally decided there was no way out
I could not fathom the best way to die
Anything that would kill me, I was willing to try
I went to a doctor who was actually helpful
For her efforts and guidance, I am so grateful
Now time has passed and my scars still stand
They have now told their story and I pray you understand

Sad and painful to read. But yes I understand.
Been there, my friend. But life is a gift from God and we must take care of it. Only He gives life and takes life. Not us.
Peace be unto you and happiness in abundance.
Your poem has great feeling and emotion.
Good rhyme and flow.
