Can you work out why I have to slit?

Contributed by deathdrop on Thursday, 2nd September 2004 @ 12:45:13 PM in AEST
Topic: selfstruggles



I just want to find a place to fit in.
But I feel pushed aside and it stings deep within.

What would it take out of you?
Just to not start at me?
Just for you to except,
And for you to respect.
Little lonely old me.

But all you ******s,
Give out your frowns.
And then you laugh at me,
When my world falls down.
Its a few words at a time,
Just so no one sees.
Apart from all those part of it.
(The ones starting at me).

… I was sitting in assembly today,
Watching my head of year.
But I couldn’t block out,
What they were whispering into my ear.
They were sitting behind me,
And putting cello-tape in my hair…

Why were you starting at me?
What had I done to you?
NOTHING! I’d ***** done NOTHING!
So why did YOU have to?

… So later I was writing into my note book.
And so of coarse every one has to stare!
What’s wrong with writing what’s inside my head?
School today hurt me and no one cared!

I’m so used to that feeling.
But it doesn’t mean I like the taste.
All I want to do is stop living,
But I know if I fail I’ll be locked away…

And so I gotta face life tomorrow,
Every last little bit!
This emotion’s too hard to take,
Well, that and being told to be perfect.

They’re drumming it into my head,
Every highest potential MUST be met!
And as for my twisted life,
They want me to put it in the past, forget.
And if I break, they’ll wonder why I’ll have to slit.
So has any one out there, actually worked it out yet?

Ok. Well this poem is a great emotional feed, but I just don't like it. You need to be more optimistic. There are people out in the world who have it much worse then you. Put a smile on your face and count your blessings. If you weren't so **** hard on yourself and always thinking people are watching you and crap, you'd be fine.


As for those of you who are conduling this person, don't. Personal perseverence is a better help, not you people trying to make this person feel better.


Every time you slit, God kills a kitten.
