The deepest cut

Having many friends and family members, even personally having done so, I felt I should write about the hurt of self harm.

Testing, testing, 1,2,3

Is there anyone who can hear me?

Its like Ive been standing here for years

screaming so loud its bringing me to tears 

And after all this strife

will someone please save my life 

My knees are growing weak, 

I’m not sure how much longer I can speak 

about the fear inside, its beginning to peak. 

Its filing me with an unimaginable feeling,

one that is leaving me reeling

that I should never have lied

never should have kept it all inside 

But with one quick glide

on the inside of the thigh

I am free now

floating sky high.

[Echoes of Eros]

A painfully profound write. Your deep, heart-felt confessions display both the hurt that consumes us, and the courage to speak about this desire to find relief in releasing life, drop by drop. One finds a small peace in having control over something, in a world that so often feels maddening. So much love and light to you, dear Nina. xo

Thank you so much. The things that i have felt from this are still fresh, still makes me cringe, but your nice words just made me feel like everything was ok. Sorry for being sappy, but thank you for your kind words. Xo, Nina

I am glad my words could make you feel ok, after all you faced. Sappy is very good. :) xo

Yes, this is very beautiful, sends colors to the wait, noise to the echo of silence. This is very well written

You started out like in a lyric, testing out the mic, in some way testing of you are heard at all.
You find the answer in the end and the solution to your problem.

This demonstrates that you use your to improve yourself in some way.
In doing so you grow in the poem you write and the poem you write become better.
That is so in my experience at least.
Exploring ourself, getting self-knowledge.

Keep it up! Thanks for sharing.
