Life hurts

The pains of life

It hurts like hell, but feels so good

The blade skims my skin

The red mark turns dark and slowly the blood seeps out

The anger within is suddenly unleashed

Calmness begins to prevail

 

It has a name

This thing that I do to myself

They call it ‘self-harm’ or something like that

It heals the sores festering inside

Returns me to normality if I’m normal at all

 

The scars don’t go away

They tell of the internal fight going on and on

It’s hard to express the feelings that I have

So this is my release, my way forward

My step on the ladder of normality

 

No one sees the marks I’ve made

No one can guess the emotion that’s deep

Only I know the truth and that’s one I’ll keep

The marks are a reminder of my tortured soul

The pains I have felt that words cannot say

 

 

I lie in my bath and watch the blood float away

Enveloped by water are my locked up tortures

When I get out a new person I’ll be

Ready to face the world again

And back to reality that’s normality for me

This makes me want to cry. This person is in such great pain and feels so alone in the world.

I could totally visulize this part....

I lie in my bath and watch the blood float away

Enveloped by water are my locked up tortures

Very nice.
