Beauty In The Blade

A thin little line,
Of crimson colored beads.
They lay upon my arm,
soon join to form a stream.

The feeling I have,
Oh, its of a wonderful dream.
But shhh... this is my secret,
If they knew, I would hear their screams.

Man, how I missed You,
Almost two months without my baby.
But now I see a silver shining beauty.
I'll use you again for another line,
Maybe. Just maybe.

Oh now there is two,
But lets go for three.
Yea, the medication is working,
But this is my own high that lets me go free.

Opps, now there is four.
Wow, this is so nice.
I need to do it again,
But for now this should sivice.

No.
I have five thin streaks,
Laying in the catch of my arm.
I feel so impowered and viberant.
I mean no perment harm.


The author's comments:
I truely have a love hate relationship with this poem.
i love the imagery and the words i used in it, but the subject, i am ashamed of.
I wrote this piece at a dificult time in my life.
I was trying to stop the self-injury i had been inflicting on myself for almost 3 years.
About a week after this was written i started recieving help and have been responing well ever since.

its important to me that people understand how hard the process is.
I know i may be critized for my past, But if helps change one persons future, then im glad to help.

i do not agree with cutting anymore.
there are better ways to deal with whatever the problem is.

If you self injury, i encourage you to talk to someone you can trust about it and get help.

Thank you.
