The knife cuts deep

Suicide

I never understood
I could not comprehend
Why they cut themselves
Why all the harm inflicted
I know depression
I know sadness
But I always saw a reason
To live on and on
My life I hide from others
A smile I put forth
Cutting would bring questions
When I just wanted to be ignored
I am bipolar
I am manic depressive
Some days life seems impossible
Some days life is just grand
Slowly as I adjust
My meds stop working
I began to understand
I began to comprehend
Life just gets harder
The smiles come less often
Why continue to pretend
Why try to fight what cannot be fought
I now know why they cut
I now know why they hurt
But for me I cannot start
For I don’t know when to quit
A shallow cut to begin
Watch as the blood begins to drip
Fascinated, I cut deeper
Wanting to set myself free
I understand the need
I understand the pain
But I cannot stop the knife
Before I end my life.

I'M EPILEPTIC,I USED TO DO THAT ALL THE TIME TOO,BUT THE ONLY ONE LAUGHING WAS ME! I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL,& WHAT YOU'RE GOING THRU! WHY KEEP ON CUTTING YOURSELF, WHEN EVERYTHING IN LIFE ALREADY CUTS LIKE A KNIFE! AND I'M NOT GONNA LET ANYTHING OR ANYBODY ELSE CUT ME,I'D RATHER DO IT MYSELF,SOLUTIONS SUCK SO YOUR BEST BET IS YOURSELF! IF YOU'RE SMART ENUFF TO WRITE WHAT YOU DID,THEN I KNOW YOU GOT WHAT IT TAKES TO OVER COME SUCH A STUPID THING:) A GREAT POEM FROM A GREAT PERSON,THINK ABOUT THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Perhaps a medication change is in order? Over time, it's quite common to develop a tolerance to such things.
Perhaps instead of cutting, you should channel your angst and frustration into your writing more often. It's why I started and it's actually been a bit therapeutic for me.
And remember, suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
Hang in there!
