My friend wrote this poem based soley on the idea. His disclaimer to me was this " lance watson: Raquel, i am not and have never been a cutter, or suicidal". So with that said....What is your opinion of his work....please be kind...as poetry is his pastime and not profession. I do believe he did an amazing job, but I am biased, please share your insight;~D
My Scars
I feel trapped inside of my own mind,
my deep emotions,
i can't unwind.
One moment euphoric,
chasing my dream,
next minute depressed,
with no self esteem.
My only freedom,
is to cause myself pain,
a blade and the blood,
i'm cutting again.
As my blood drips dark red,
off the blade and my arm,
i'm at peace,
i'm tranquil, i'm calm.
To me it's relief,
a release,
just like rain,
it replenishes, renews,
and i'm growing again.
The scars that i have,
i keep hidden from view,
for my eyes only,
never for you,
And each and every one,
has a tale it would tell,
just thank God,
your not like me,
and living my hell.
