my addiction

Contributed by nightrider on Friday, 6th December 2002 @ 01:40:00 AM in AEST
Topic: Suicide



a terrible thing,
or so it may seem,
but why is it so bad?
it offers relief,
to many in need,
it extends a comforting hand.
to become attached to it,
is such an easy task.
to begin to love the ritual,
to long to show your pain,
to show the world,
deep inside,
to your twisted brain.
for me this is no longer,
a thing used as a last resort,
its more to me now,
i dont understand it,
but now im becoming addicted.
addicted to the chilled blade,
addicted to its sharp bite,
addicted to the red flow,
addicted to the relief in sight.

"why?" you ask,
"why?!?" i laugh,
do you really expect a reason,
a reason for my life?
i wish i had one,
i really do,
maybe its this...
to be able to be powerful,
to rule over my hurt,
or to be able to feel,
on my skin,
the ripping pain from inside.
so, are these the reasons why?
the reasons why,
i can cut myself,
over and over again,
and never once cry?
do these answers satisfy you?
do you now understand my life?
no, i doubt you can,
no one ever will,
no one understands me,
no one seems to care,
so ill just walk alone,
down lifes path,
just me and my addiction,
till the very end.

This is a great write... and i definately know where your coming from with this one... i often get annoyed when people ask why i cut... because im left with no answer and with yet another person who thinks im "sum freak" Oh well... good luck i hope things get better for you... ~Delusions~

I can't say that I've ever cut myself, but I know I've wanted to. This is an excellent description of pain needing to manifest itself when it is not readily evident.
