I scratch,
White marks appear.
As they turn red,
Out pours all my anger.
I smash,
My head against walls.
Pain soars through my body,
Releasing all my mental pain.
I burn,
Red marks on my skin.
They bring freedom,
Setting me free from the fires of hell.
Hurting no one but myself.
Finding mental freedom from physical pain.
Red, white, purple, blue.
Anger, rejection, upset, pain.
People say it's wrong,
They look down their noses.
Only making things worse,
Friends leave, strangers frown.
So,
I can't cope with my mental pain,
But i've never inflicted pain on YOU.
Dear Diary;
Today was just the same as yesterday.
The teenage girl scribbled in her ragged notebook that served as her diary/vent notebook. For the past several weeks that's all she had written for each day. Nothing ever changed, nothing got better.
Dear Diary;
Today was worse.
She couldn't bring herself to write down all the horrors of her day, so instead, she cried into her diary staining the page with teardrops.
Dear Diary;
Today was just as bad, if not worse then yesterday.
She closed her diary and cried. Was it ever going to get better?
Dear Diary;
I just want to die...
She wrote in small letters, hoping that no one would ever
Alone I sit
Alone I stand
Alone I go
For the voices demand.
Quietly I\'l come
Quietly I\'l go
Quietly I\'l make
My own blood flow.
Slowly I cut
Slowly I cry
Slowly I want
Myself to die.
The quicker I cut
The harder I bleed
For this addiction
I have to feed
My arm
My wrist
My soul
And me.
One moment I'm sitting in my room writing poetry in my bed room,
The next I'm lying on the cold tile floor of my bathroom.
What happened?
I don't know,
I can't think,
I can't focus,
I don't want to know.
All I can remember is the lyrics sung in the background of my bedroom,
I do want to remember how I got to the bathroom.
What happened?
That made me move,
That broke me down,
That broke my walls,
That made me do it again.
I was fine hiding under my covers writing,
But things changed and so did my setting.
What happened?
Things became a challenge,
Things got hard,
Things got scary,
Things became painful.
What ha
You asked me to stop cutting.
Dont you understand?
Talking doesnt help.
Yeah, I show up to school with cuts and scars.
But you must, you have to, understand why,
I do what I do.
Its not some fad.
Im not looking for attention.
Im not doing it because everyone else is.
Nor am I doing it because I think its cool.
I do it because I dont know how.
How to stop the pain...
