Self Harm
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.
Literature
Self Harm
A cross upon my wrist,
Blood that makes me sane,
Release a heavy burden,
Of never ending pain.
A mark for my regret,
A cut across my arm,
Trying to find my comfort,
My comfort is self harm.
Literature
Self Harm
I have an addiction.
It is called Self-Harm.
Self-harmers enjoy cutting, burning, and mutilating themselves. The term is widely misunderstood.
We dont do it for the attention, we don't do it because we want to die.
We do it for the high. For the rush and the initial "Woah" of the first cut or burn.
We do it because it makes us feel better. Scientifically, the release of blood pumps adrenaline and endorphins through us. Which makes us happy.
But for me, drawing a razor across my skin and seeing the blood flow, is an ecstacy. I love it, and I hate it. So much.
At the same time.
Seeing myself bleed is a way for my emotions to be let out.

At first glance, this may seem like a typical cliche emo poem. However, this one is quite different. This is a very haunting and very visceral piece. It is a very detailed account of the innermost thought processes that pervade a person still feeling the pain of past wounds. The imagery is crisp and very graphic and the impact is quite strong. One can't help but feel depressed and, I'm sure the author would agree, that was a main focal point. Also another gem in this piece is the flexibility for multiple interpretations. However, I will leave that to the reader. Aside from a few editorial concerns, this is a great read.
