Abuse

Its about me... i write a lot of stuff about me

Many masks I wear
Friend,foe,sister,and even daughter
But one so secret mask 
one that no one see's ;
The mask of an abuser
Not to anyone,
anyone but me.
To feel to cold steal of my knife
slice through my flesh,oh what a rush
it is to watch my life drain from me.
Leaving nothing but the burning
fire which compels me.

[f**k you]

This is honestly a fantastic piece. Your honesty is raw and gives this poem an edge. I love the line that says "leaving nothing but the burning fire that compels me". That part really drives in the message that this action is both pain and "pleasure", a ritual. Like everyone before, I'm here to talk if you ever need it, even if we don't know each other. I can see a strong understanding of poetry budding in your work, so keep it up. Writing is such a powerful release. It can heal. Don't ever stop. Best wishes.

Oh my. A lot of depression in this poem. Maybe you should talk it out with someone. There is a lot of emotion and a lot of feel in it.

[Toni Blackerby]

thank u

My third of your poems and I am sure you are a very good poet already. You are very good at conveying what you feel and putting it into well constructed verses. One typo 'slice through my flesh,oh what a rush'. I hope though this is not a lived experience. If so I hope you can value yourself as you are a good writer and in anycase do not deserve to punish yourself!

thank u that was very sweet

If you need someone to talk to I'm only a 'Send Message' button away

[Toni Blackerby]

Again a very sad poem...

Is this about how you feel right now?

[Toni Blackerby]

yes

[Amanda J. S.]

I really think you need to talk to someone about that....
If you aren't comfortable with talking to someone face to face, I would be willing to talk to you about it, if you like...

I just think it is very important that you talk to someone about it!

[Toni Blackerby]

ok ill think about it

[Amanda J. S.]

And please do write me a message if you should ever feel like talking to someone who wouldn't judge or or tell you how wrong you are...

[Amanda J. S.]

(not that I think you are wrong!) I just think that some people are too fast to judge and look down at others!

[Toni Blackerby]

ok

[Amanda J. S.]

And it is not just something I say... I really want to help!

Toni, I feel the same way, someone is hurting me, physically and mentally at school, I only cut myself three times. But if you need someone to talk to who knows what you're going through, I'm here.

[Amanda J. S.]

I've cut, as well, though a really long time ago!... But I'm willing to talk (the offer still stands)

[Elodi Bell]

It's okay, I stopped, but thanks anyway. :)

[Amanda J. S.]

No problem ^^

[Elodi Bell]

Toni, maybe you don't think you're so beautiful on the outside, but you are beautiful on the inside, I know I read your writing. But please stop cutting, because if you cut in the wrong place a cut will turn into a broken blood vessel, which leads to being hospitalized. Believe me, I should know it almost happened to me.
