Array ( [sid] => 60324 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Why? [time] => 2004-08-16 14:20:01 [hometext] => I'm not sure if this is in the right topic. I wrote this when all my friends were cutting themselves and to tell you the truth I still dont understand why they did it. So if you could help me by dropin a comment I would be really greatful [bodytext] => Why?
Why is it taht everyone,
Believe they have the worst problems?
Why do girls, my friends
Cut themselves?

Your Father died,
I understand.
There is no need to,
Take that blade to your wrist.

You have family problems,
I understand, I have them too.
But is there really a reason,
You have to take that knife to your wrist?

You have many problems,
All about different *.
I understand but,
I dont understand why you have to,
Take that razor blade to your damn wrist.

You have many problems,
That I don't know of.
I understand really I do.
But there is still no need to,
Take that damn razor to your wrist.

I've known you all my life
You always seemed so happy.
One day you took a blade to,
Your wrist, legs, and stomach.
I don't understand,
What was soo bad?

We all have our problems,
Some worst then others.
I know everyone thinks theirs is the worst,
But are they really?

I have gone through some pretty rough sh*t
All of it at once,
I didnt think I could get threw it,
But I never took a blade to my wrist or my stomach.
Is it because I was to weak or because I was too scared?

good write,
you can't understand their reason behind their cutting, as you aren't a cutter yourself. people deal with hurt and pain in all sorts of different ways, I used to cut, I used to drink every day to ease the pain.... but now I am strong enough to do it without needing to do those things,....it is good that you don't cut. I hope that you will never feel the need, because take it from one who knos once you start it is very hard to stop....

takecare,

pixie xx

No one on this earth will ever FULLY understand someone else. As a friend of cutters and an ex cutter my self.... the most reason is that cutting releives tension and frustration and anger. But in the end.......... all those emotions will just come back. Many people who cut or do drugs don't know a mature way to deal with their problems.....so.........what do they do???? They ignore the problem only for it to resurface again and that is why the cutting or drug abuse continues. In your poem.. you say that you knew the person all your life and they seemed so happy and then just started cutting. That's not the way it works. Honestly.........How well do someone know someone else if they can't fully understand. Cutters just feel hopeless and alone and cutting is the one and maybe the only thing that they can control in their lives. Well, this is long....if you have any questions you can send me message and I'll try to help the best I can.
PEACE.....ALINA
