Array ( [sid] => 11702 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => cuts on my legs [time] => 2003-01-31 13:00:00 [hometext] => ok this is inspired by the cuts on my legs that i inflicted this morning. it is so scary, my parents are on suicide patrol when i hav a bath to make sure i dont have a razor with me, it takes an act of parliament for me to be able to use one, and all the aspirin has been hidden... i dont regret the cutting, or the suicide attempts though... weird.... [bodytext] => the lines are ending, getting thin.
again, the razor enters in.
my legs are covered in abstract art,
the painter's brush was long and sharp.
a melancholy sketch of me-
the hidden canvas noone can see.

please end this painting, and this pain
don't retouch my wounds again.
with blood as paint, with sweat and tears,
painting my despair and fears.

please burn this painting, destroy all evidence
of this little incidence
that i call life, and in my death,
glaze my eyes with depression's cold breath. [comments] => 6 [counter] => 331 [topic] => 36 [informant] => ashleigh4 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Suicide )

cuts on my legs

Topic: Suicide

the lines are ending, getting thin.
again, the razor enters in.
my legs are covered in abstract art,
the painter's brush was long and sharp.
a melancholy sketch of me-
the hidden canvas noone can see.

please end this painting, and this pain
don't retouch my wounds again.
with blood as paint, with sweat and tears,
painting my despair and fears.

please burn this painting, destroy all evidence
of this little incidence
that i call life, and in my death,
glaze my eyes with depression's cold breath.

You express your inner self quite well here, you wrote it well. Maybe you can put your pain down on paper more than on your body, writting has helped me from a lot of pain. Check out my work.

Wow... Ashleigh this was simply brilliant. All this was so well thought out. I loved it. I know its hard but try not to cut. Keep on writing like this and never stop.

Your friend,
Joel
