Blood is red,
The veins are blue,
The cuts and scars they bleed all through
The blade in my hand agaist my skin,
The more i cut the less i feel sin.
Im not upset im just sleepy,
I feel a billion eyes on me but its not creepy,
I feel the whole world looking in,
But i have nothing to give or win,
I dont cry my eyes just rain
The long sleeves shirts dont hide the pain,
I write my life into a letter explaining without me things will be better.
So as breath for the last time,
I realise the biggest waste of life is mine.-naomi <3

Hurt
The cut runs deep, Crimson drops the carpet does seep. Her pain is brief, But she sighs with relief. Pent up emotions trapped from within, Are now let loose onto her skin.

Rotted From Within
Cut cut I cut my skin, My soul has rotted from within. I feel the blood come down my arm, I think about why I do this self harm. I wish I was different, I want to stop it.

Nowhere
I am nowhere but I am somewhere. Imprisoned inside my mind dealing with great care. Every little detail of my life. Until stuff becomes too much and out come the knife. Cutting my skin.

I Believe In You
Nails scratch the surface, A red reality bleeds through. Steel etches memories, Buried within you. Actions surely wrong, brought by emotions ever new. Consequences sad, leaving lasting stains untrue.

I hope they get to see it. I had a friend kill himself last month, Its not nice, I hope they find strength.
@Stablish awk thats so sad i send sympathy to their family and yeah i showed then the poem weeks ago π
Immensely powerful write with good structure. Must have been hard seeing a friend go through that :(
This is incredibly powerful. I hate how warped and twisted our outlook on life can get that some people have to self harm to feel anything. Your words are painfully accurate
This is so painfully true and powerful. I can unbelieveay relate, being a cutter and a victim of depression, and your use of words are so accurate and amazing. I love this π
