Am I crazy?

The pain

It's all in my head

I want to make it stop

I tried everything

Drugs

Sex

Friends

Nothing works

So I resort to a shard of metal

I glide it across my pale wrist

The pain overcomes the screams in my head

It feels good

But it isn't a solution

Love is the cruelest of emotions because it can really make you feel crazy when you lose the person you love. Good Job

[Cosmic kid]

Thanks :)

Nope, it definitely isn't a solution. Put am arm around the screams and take them to one side and give them ear. They may turn out to sound much more reasonable, likeable even, if they are given a chance. Perhaps we hear screams because we do not hear our real selves behind the screams. I dunno though. The action you describe is crazy, but the way you describe it, weild the words is decinitely not crazy. You use words with great economy and get to the point acutely.

Thank you I'm glad that you understood the poem spot on.

[StillUnwritten]

I feel the same way. I really love this.

[Cosmic kid]

It's a pretty awful feeling :/ but thank you

[StillUnwritten]

It really is. Everything will be okay, one day.

Oh, you cut yourself? Please don't... scrape yourself so it hurts, but don't draw blood; it's addicting and dangerous...

This poem is amazing, and I feel that it really captures the feeling... :D Try not to cut yourself, but keep writing!

[Cosmic kid]

Yes I know and it doesn't solve anything, but it takes away some of the pain :/ thank you

[Admiral Kirk]

Yes yes yes, but actually breaking the skin leaves you vulnerable to numerous infections, and using the same knife over and over or sharing a knife... find another way, is all I'm saying. I didn't say it doesn't solve anything, I get it. A couple times I've hurt myself, but never cut... Anyway, I forgot to say earlier, THIS POEM IS AWESOME!!!!! Very emotional and so true.

[Admiral Kirk]

Oh, and you are not crazy. Calling you crazy would be like calling... a lot of people crazy. If you're crazy, I'm crazy. Well, I am crazy, but... never mind. You're not crazy for cutting yourself. You do it for a good reason, and I can relate.

[Cosmic kid]

self mutilation is a growing epidemic and I feel bad about it because it's not like I have an awful life, I have a roof over my head, I have food, and loving parents and there are people out there that are less fortunate then I but can over come it and move on in life. I used to critize people who would hurt themselves, did I mention that I am an a*****e? Yeah and I feel like a hypocrite now. So maybe I am crazy maybe we're all crazy and sane sometimes but thank you:)

[Admiral Kirk]

:D don't worry, everyone is an a*****e to someone. There's always someone who can't stand you... When I am about to feel sorry for myself, I think about people who aren't living in a house with three square meals a day and loving families, and I stop pitying myself. Of course, the conflicts in my head occasionally override that, but that's only during my depression episodes, which thankfully aren't too often. :D You're welcome, by the way, since you thanked me. :P If you think you're crazy... at least you're not destroying your kidneys with overdoses and your heart with binge eating. Compared to that, cutting is probably less destructive. :D You'll overcome the pain. Just keep your head up and scream-sing Don't Stop Believin' whenever you get the chance!

[Cosmic kid]

Yeah that is true everybody has there moments. But I am killing my kidneys and my lungs

[Admiral Kirk]

:( That's too bad... :) I hope you find your solution

[zainul]

Last line is fact. Suicide is a one way street. No way back. A powerful poem. I lost two brother's to suicide. They left kids and family. Life had many opportunities. Must go forward and hope for luck and some fun. Thank you for the excellent poem.
