“Do it” the demon whispered,
“Shed another drop”
“I can’t” I whispered
“I promised I would stop”
“Do you think they’d notice?
No one will know there’re there,
No one gives a damn,
Does anyone really care?”
I stopped and thought a minute,
Maybe the Demons right,
Would anyone really notice,
If I cut my arm tonight?
I've no one to listen,
no one to understand,
No one to pull me tight,
No one to hold my hand.
"you know i'm right" he cried
"you know you will give in,
cos i am always by your side,
and i will always win!"
I didn't really hesitate
as i crept across the floor,
I held my breath
and slowly opened the draw.
I held the blade
in the palm of my hand,
"its your only friend" he whispered
"the only one who will understand"
"i promise i'll only do one"
I said as the blood began to run,
but i couldn't stop, kept going,
Seeing how many, it was almost fun.
The demon laughed hysterically
as my floor turned deep red,
i slumped against my wall,
all dizzy in the head.
I began to cry, tears rolling down my face,
"why did i listen to you?!"
I yelled, he just smirked
What else were you gonna do?
His eyes glistened daringly,
"I told you i would win,
I can make you do anything,
I can always make you sin."
I watched my blood make a pattern
Deep and deadly on the floor
This is it, i thought,
I won't be here much more.
Darkness engulfed me,
the demon had finally gone,
But once again i stumbled,
Tripped, and in the end he won.

Very relatable, honest. It's hard to deprive yourself of something that can make you feel so safe, that can make you feel almost empowered. Great write.

| There are SOOOO many poems about cutting on this site, but I have to say, this is the only one to date that I've ever liked. Nice job...A very sad poem...but well written and empathetic. |
