The Patron of Self Injury

Contributed by cherryamber on Friday, 16th August 2013 @ 12:35:04 AM in AEST
Topic: selfstruggles



i thought one day it would all stop and maybe something will fill

me

why cant something ***** FILL me why do I want to pull apart my chest & just let

the demons inside me finally leak through the holes and the scars where

skin is only held together by a thread.

im staring in the mirror looking back at the person I hate

But how can I hate what doesn’t even seem to even

exist

at all

how am i supposed to

i can’t even drink enough to lose this emptiness in me.

it may be a crutch but It’s not even helping me walk

i have voices in my head and they whisper to me that

life would be better off dead

and then I know, that simply makes no sense

I wish I could rip apart all the fibres that hold

my skin together and try to find something inside me

That is real, that I can grab ahold, because I swear

if you peeled these layers away

inside me is nothing

and ever since they did that to me, it has been

the same.

There is a real intensity and anguish within your work here.
It reminds me just how tough life can be for some people, while others seem to breeze through it without a care in the world.
I suppose the consolation is that the people who have to fight for everything turn out to be the most interesting!!!

Thank you for sharing... some people will read your poem and say how deep or dark it is but i just see it as the honest feelings that live within some of us. i dont know your story or what youve been through but as someone who cut for 10 years let met tell you that you will one day come out on the other side. You will be in my thoughts.
