Array ( [sid] => 65667 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => ... Just Can't Explain To Your Face...! [time] => 2004-09-30 13:41:37 [hometext] => Just an insight to some thing that happened and the conversation that followed today. I had with some one today. They don't under stand me, and i can't explain myself, not really... so tell me, just so I know, does this make sense to you? [bodytext] => You asked to see my cuts.
And I did that but hesitated.
I showed you until you’d had enough.
But I hated doing it.

… I pulled up my sleeve.
Your hand touched my wrist.
You looked so sad.
As I examined my scratches.

I KNOW what you want from me.
But YOU KNOW what I am!
Your dark eyes showed that you’re ‘sad for me’.
But I HAD to take a blade and stab.

I couldn’t explain it to you.
But you wanted know.
“Why do I have to slice my-self?”
“Why do I just let go…?”

I asked you if you think I’m twisted.
And your answer was “no!”
So I called my-self a FREAK!
As inside it’s so well known!

And it hurt when you said I’m cared about.
It hurt and scratched inside.
Oh don’t I know that I’m cared about!
It’s permently printed into my mind…!

And when I want to kill my-self,
I hold back every time.
This self-ham will send me back to mental-health!
And those that care will break inside.

Especially if I go ‘all the way’,
And do that darker slit.
That’s why I hold back when people say.
“You’re a freak, and you’re really twisted!”

But then some times it gets unbearable!
That’s why I have to cut.
But I couldn’t explain that to you, AT ALL!
I think I’ve already hurt you people enough!

Well, I have a vague sense of the message you're trying to get across, and I can easily relate, though as I said, it is vague.

Nevertheless, I'm sure most will understand.
This is an intriguing piece, and thought-provoking in the way it left me wondering exactly how to pin-point the fexact feelings you've portrayed.

A great piece, with a soul-searching and despairing vibe surrounding it. If you ever need to talk, feel free to PM me. I won't bite, I promise! :-)
