Fading Fatality

Warning!! Pretty dark piece highlighting those that self harm!

My chest it's cut open and left exposed
Do you not see that my heart has froze?
The roaring sun slowly thaws it out
But this day is now over and tonight is still in doubt

My expressions have changed my fate
Do you not see the scars on my face?
Laughter lines have now blurred with evening stubble
Cut throat razor blade feels like trouble

As I sliced down against my skin
Releasing natural chemicals that build up within
I've hurt my self back to reality
As my heart thawed out and I realise I'm now a fading fatality

Urge For Blood

Tracing over long healed scars. Cuts unnoticed. Below radars. Hickeys from my one true love. My razorblades. What pain is made of. Memories of scarlet tears. That blur confusion. Dilute my fears.

I Was Never Enough.

Is this the part where I try to tell a funny joke to break the ice. I proceed by telling you all about my childhood and how much I hated life. Or should I tell you about all the times I felt alone.

Shot

A shot is a shot, it doesn't matter from who's gun it came. I can't breathe when I think about it, I can't breathe. A leaded weight ties itself to my lungs and I just can't breathe.

Four

You bite your finger. You're trying to avoid the temptation of scratching yourself with nails you haven't trimmed for a while.

Butterflies

Graceful in autumn days. You're a symbol of peace. Under summers haze. There's more to be seen. Marked upon wrists. A symbol of many thoughts. From committing suicide.

Knife

The knife-edge glimmers With a promise of release From pain, passion, love-unrequited, I know how it feels; Cold blade slicing hot skin, Warm rush of blood, endorphins kick in, And I yearn for that...

I might get slaughtered for this but I think anyone and I mean anyone who self harms is pathetic. Such a stupid thing to do often for attention. Maybe I don't understand but you get people on here glorifying it like its some badge of honor or something. I think these people that do it for whatever reason should grow up. Great poem mate ๐Ÿฎ

This could be a trigger for some people but great writing

A powerful write Hun ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜“๐Ÿธ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ’‹๐Ÿ’‹

@leelee101 thanks sir ๐Ÿป๐Ÿป๐Ÿ‘

@glen I know what you mean mate, I do think some do it as it releases some kind of chemicals in their brains that they can't produce any other way. I'm no expert on the subject but I do think there's more to it than doing it just for attention seeking altho I'm sure some do it for that reason but not all. I'm pretty sure stress, adrenaline, anxiety and that they don't know to control certain emotions/feelings and its a kind of "release" maybe??

@chickgamer a trigger? Are you saying someone that reads this will self harm?

@misslittleDHP thank you Kim mwah ๐Ÿ’‹

@smellyfingers I just can't get my head around it mate. If I cut myself every time I got pissed off I'd look like a cheese grater by now ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜ƒ

@glen @smellyfingers did u know that tattoo addiction and piercing is also a form of self harm the satisfaction from tat pain is addictive

@smellyfingers @glen I don't have that's for the record

@glen lol but do you think those that cut have much confidence, self respect ect to care about the aftermath of cutting (scars ect), I'm pretty sure it's a medical condition and is pretty involved as to the reasons why it happens. If someone harms themselves then surely they are desperate and it's not as simple as saying they attention seeking?

@tetti2 yeah but least get something out of it, cutting yourself for no reason is madness ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

@tetti2 yes I did babe. My uncle has a tattoo shop (lol freebies) it's the chemicals in the brain, a natural kind of high, fear, adrenaline, endorphins and all that stuff

@smellyfingers well I think their attention seeking nutters lol ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘Œ

@glen madness probably the correct word with it being a mental illness. I think people that admit to doing it on here are attention seeking but privately shows a big old problem.

@glen it is madness mate, literally. It's a psychological condition which I guess can be addictive. Think of it like a heroin addict, I know it wrong as do you and probably they too, but addiction can be a bastard to break the cycle, ppl start/do it for different reasons. Btw I don't nor never have self harmed, just playing the devils advocate lol

@tetti2 totally agree. Why would anyone openly admit to self harming ill never know, unless they are seeking help/treatment for it and need to express themselves by being honest and open? It's a bit too personal tho and in some ways still a taboo. Funny tho that some religions self harm to appease their gods, weird aye? Lol

@glen @smellyfingers interesting subject really worrying that it does seem to be becoming fashionable with young adults

@smellyfingers @tetti2 right to see what all the fuss is about I'm going to slit my throat, if you don't hear from me in the next ten minutes then I went to far lol but ill be sure to write an opuss all about it lol

@glen ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜ฑ can you post a pic to prove it?? Lmfao

Disappointing that there are some narrow minded people out there that condemn mental illness as attention seeking!? Self harm is often done to remind you that no matter what pits of despair you have reached you can still get a stimulus - yes I said a stimulus! Most self harmers do everything they can to hide their scars- so much for attention seeking? Although it is true there are self harmers who wear their scars as a badge if honour. Don't be so quick to condemn guys. @smellyfingers well done for highlighting a very real issue especially among young vulnerable kids.

@merlin1038 no condemning here fella I'm well aware of mental illness (I'm not self harmer myself fortunately) but have known people in the past that are constantly hiding their scars. I don't understand why some announce it upon first meeting I think that's where the attention thing could come across? Unless like was mentioned earlier it could be a therapy thing could be a reason.

@merlin1038 thank you, appreciate it mate. ๐Ÿ‘
