+I Hurt Myself Again+

I hurt myself again

So I can focus

On the only things that’s real:

The pain



As the memories come back

Of the past

Over and over again

I hope it won’t last



Overwhelmed by feelings

But not sure which is here

This time, or which will stay

But I fear



I fear for my life

I fear for my future

As I dwell on the past

As I look at the pictures



The tears won’t flow

The words won’t come

So I suffer in silence

But inside I’m so numb



I’m so empty

I’m so hurt

As I slice my wrists

Hope this time I hit something

But I’m no expert



Each scar has its own story

Each scar has its own pain

Each scar looks different

But in fact they’re all the same



Always the same blood

That seeps out of me

Always the same feelings

That take over me



It’s an addiction

It’s my only support

The only one who’s always there

In the times I need it most



When everyone is so fake

When everything’s unreal

It’s the only thing

That can make me feel



So I hurt myself again

So I can focus

On the only things that’s real:

The pain

i liked your poem. i know how you feel. i used to cut and i just quit like a few weeks ago. cutting yourself really don't help your problems it only makes you stop thinking about for only a lil bit of time but it always comes back. cutting will eventually lead you to losing friends. you really need to stop. i'm actually able to control the want and the need for it better than wat i was. i still want to though. but i'm trying to stop for good for my best friend dylan cuz he wants me to stop and he said that if i didn't he was gonna stop being my friend and i can't lose him again.....he's to special to me right now and i really care about him. but please try to stop cutting it's not gonna get you anywhere. it'll just make things worse and it'll hurt people all around you....trust me i know i've been through it for like 3 to 5 years. if you ever need anything anyone to talk to then email me at atreyu_rocks_hard@yahoo.com
