Moment Of Truth

Contributed by Pats4eva7 on Monday, 21st March 2005 @ 05:21:50 PM in AEST
Topic: DarkPoetry



There's this secret,
I hide deep within.
I hope that you can handle,
The fact I cut my skin.

I know it's gonna be hard,
To know your daughter causes self-harm.
To know you never, ever noticed,
The cuts along my arm.

You look at me and still you cant see,
The release I feel when I use the blade.
The physical wounds will heal,
But the inner scars can never fade.

The fear wavers inside me,
To know what you're going to feel.
To scream and cry in disbelief,
And still be sure it's not real.

Well mother,
This is no dream.
The blood and pain are real,
Just like your screams.

Among the years,
The pain has built.
Dont blame yourself,
Dont feel guilt.

I want you to know,
I need time to heal.
I know you're afraid,
And dont know how to deal.

With each step I take,
It gets closer to the day.
The day your knowledge hurts you,
Somehow, someway.

Being an ex cutter myself i can really relate to this. It seems the only way we can release the pain that builds up inside that becomes so uncontrollable that we want to burst or die. I know this. A fantastic peice of work, well done. I hope you are happier these days. x

i think you are pretty lucky that you told your mom because my mom found out when i didnt want her to. i promised i would stop but i just couldnt. i know you feel my pain when i say that it is an addiction and you cant just stop. it takes time and it takes time to heal from all of the pain.
