They're Lying.

They're Lying.

A Poem by +Naomi+
"

Not about me.

"
She plunges the razor into her wrist,
leaving a jagged cut in the scarred pale skin.

So used to this,
The pain is not felt.
So used to this,
She doesn't stop.

She cuts deeper and deeper,
soon-to-be scars take the place of the skin.
Sweet crimson tears pile up,
surrounded by the razor's harm.

She cuts her wrists, 
her arms,
her legs.

Carving "Your Fault"
into every line made.

She hits the bone every time,
those crimson tears never stopping.

Her attempts to block out the pain...
Her attempts to block out the depression...
No one listened to what the scars meant.
No one heard her piercing screams of mercy.

Her heart was next,
she thought.
She plunged the razor into her chest,
beads of red flowing out.
Bloody Angel, why?
Bloody Angel....

Why?

Very powerful, good job. And I have gone down this path, cutting...though this isn't about you. But it is not an easy habit to break...though I am done with this now, but I am attempting to help others through it. But very good imagery and good message as well. A voice that needs to be heard while everyone just moves on with life...

A very intense poem. Cutting into flesh and bones leave blood and pain. A strong ending to a poem with death as the end. I like the ending. A question leave the reader the opportunity to think. A excellent poem.

You sure did capture the feelings alright. Very dark topic, but those are the best things to write about :)

This is both beautiful and disturbing. My favourite mix. I love this poem. It shows how so many people have felt before.

Nailed it here. You've got that perfect mix between the cold clinicism of cutting and the agony of it.

Wow, vivid and the images were mind blowing.. This made me sit up and see things that were in past. Had a friend commit suicide, horrible thing that..
