Cut

My arm is out in front of me,
My other hand is holding them,
My best friends at the moment,
A pair of nail scissors.
I press the blade of one side against my arm,
Light as a feather it passes over my arm.
I place my hand once more over my arm,
The skin is unscarred, soft, and smooth,
Nothing like my life is now
I feel my soul, my insides are scarred.
I slowly pick my friend back up
I open it and squeeze my fist as they connect.
The cut is small, not much blood
I cut again, the pain inside me,
Is still there, it still eats at me.
Another cut goes in, there’s more.
The blood is red, so fresh of life,
How can something so alive come from me?
I start a new spot
That is right by the first.
I’m not sure why it helps.
I know inside that I should stop
My arm feels no pain as I keep going.
The pain inside me
It fades as the red blood flows.
I cut again; I’m starting to feel better.
My mind is almost feeling clear.
My arm is red from cuts and
Pain I do not feel. I’m feeling better
I cut again to secure the feeling.
My mind is now clear
I look to my arm
The bleeding has stopped.
I feel ashamed at what I’ve done.
I still know not why it helped,
I still don’t know why it helped to
Cut.

| this is very emotional. i am truly amazed that someone was able to put it down like this without making the subject feel fake. you wrote this like you lived it, which i believe you did. i did as well. thank you for writing a clearer and more honest portrayal than most other people that try and write poetry on this subject |
