Slash and Burn

Contributed by Pats4eva7 on Friday, 25th March 2005 @ 11:57:24 AM in AEST
Topic: self-harmpoetry



Don't ask me to explain,
Don't tell me you understand.
This pain is felt by only me,
So don't hold out your hand.

I don't want your sympathy,
I don't crave your attention.
I don't wanna talk about it,
It's better left unmentioned.

I don't care if each slash hurts you,
Or that each cut makes you cringe.
I don't give a damn if it hurts you,
I'm fighting the me within.

I'll slit my wrist and cut my arms,
And bleed until im drained.
The only thing I can control,
Is the stinging, the throbbing, the pain.

I hate myself, I hate my life,
I'd rather to have never lived.
There's nothing I deserve to take,
I don't have anything to give.

I see everyone looking at me,
Their eyes move to the scars.
I feel their stares, I feel them judge me,
I hear them whisper from afar.

The scars are a reminder,
That among all the pain there's a release.
They suffice until I can bleed again,
Killing myself in peace.
