Leaving impressions with the knife
Your confidence is so amazing
Like the infinite time of life
Lackadaisically I fall to sleep
My heart plummeting down so fast
Blood stains the sheets I lay on
The eternal pain seeps so vast
Hysterically I call out
From my nightmares while I sleep
These slices I myself have made
Have been cut down so deep
I feel the ridges with my hand
The marks left on my skin
These tears of black that I cry
Tell me that I wont win

You are like a fountain of pain, everytime I think you would have to run dry, a fresh eruption spews forth. The thing that scares me the most is your poetry about self-mutilation. You cannot control life around you, but you can your responses. I am not saying it is easy and I'm sure we all have skeletons in our closet, but I do not want to see you suffer... well, to keep it to a minimum at least and cut out the voluntary stuff. Always, please let me know if I can help. You are in my thoughts.

Wow! The opening of the piece really blinded me with the knife's reference to a ray of light! Absolutely brilliant, it's not often imagery of that force is read everyday. I'm sorry you feel the way that you do, I hope that you stay strong and well. Keep up the great writing too!

So very sad but great writing.
If ya have time would u please read my 4 part series of writes called SUICIDE. It's a true story.
My heart tugs when I read one of these type of writes. I don't pretend to understand what u r going thru but I can relate to being so negative that I didn't care if I lived or died. thank god for seeing beyond my faults and attending to my needs.
Great writng.
hugss, luv, prayer,
emy
