Destroying Skin.

I cannot face tomorrow
And each tomorrow after this
There is nothing left for me
Nothing but questions
That I don’t know how to answer.
And all I want is the knife
But I promised I wouldn’t this time.
I’ve broken so many promises.
What’s one more?
I can’t bear to have anyone see
The tears with no reason behind them.
So I choke them back.
Because I know I’ll be checked on
Before the first tear meets my lips.
And all I need is someone who understands.
Plenty say they do.
They can’t.
They don’t know what its like to feel the knife ripping through your skin
To penetrate underlying tissue
To bring forth the blood
To bring twisted relief.
They told me to learn to cope.
I don’t know how,
And I don’t want to stop.
My arm is a tangled web of scars
Visible from a distance.
What difference do three more make?
And no one really cares.
They may be disappointed
But does it really matter?
Why should I have to feel so helpless
When I have found a solution?
I’m destroying skin.
Not committing a crime.
Wounds heal.
Physical ones anyways.
When I don’t need it anymore I won’t do it.
But I need it now.
More than anything.
And this time I will spill the most blood I ever have.
If I hit an artery so be it.
I don’t care anymore.
Maybe I’ll just end it.
And when I needed someone most,
I found no one cares.
I don’t care.
I won’t.
Until tonight when my blood surfaces.

that is a really touching poem. i hate when ppl say they understand too. especially when they dont do the things that i do. they really dont get it most of the time. and its not really something u can explain. i hate when ppl ask why i cut or whatever, because i dont always have a spacific reason, i just do, its how i cope. ive been called a poser because of that, but honestly, its the only thing i know.
but im rambling now, so im gonna stop. great poem!! |
