Dearest Big Brother,

Im sorry for things i've put you through,

Im sorry for things I didn't do for you,

Im sorry for the fights I couldn't help you win,

Im sorry for those times I couldn't be there to comfort you.

Im sorry for the drama that has overcome our lives,

Im sorry for harsh words i've said,

I know they feel like knives.

Im sorry for the criticism,

You never did deserve it.

Im sorry for not being a good little sister,

Please, don't try to deny it.

So as I sit upon my bed,

I write this and I cry,

don't try to talk me out of this,

I slit my wrist and die...

 

Goodbye my dearest big brother....

depressing. and its not going to help that that much if you say ur gonnna become a cutter and commit suicide.

this is an interesting write as most poems are written by cutters themselves. i like that you are trying to get your brother to stop cutting. but most cutters can't stop, at least not until they themselves are ready. i have scars up & down my arms from it. this is heart-felt & emotional & i hope your brother takes it to heart. you obviously care very deeply for him. cutting is only a temporary solution to an underlying problem. i hope he finds out what is making him act in these self-destructive ways. a good write, & it brings tears to my eyes.
