Desire strikes like a Corba

Im kind of liking this

This blood thing.

Fetish? Fixations?

Not quite an obsession yet,

I can see it growing into that.

 

I understand why people liked the feel of slicing their flesh,

realeasing bottled-up hurt.

 

Unable to slip into sleep,

Unable to fall into dreams,

Unable to lie completely still,

Snared by tangled thoughts.

Yeah it stings.

But at least i feel something.

 Something besides hunger

Something besides fear.

Weird i always thought cutters were sick.

Sicker than me.

But with one swipe.

I understand why they do it.

Why they like it.

Even though they hate it.

 

I liked the way exposed flesh looks, all pinkish white. It looks new, although i know

that isnt right.

I think this is a dark deep side of you that only few ppl know about including yourself. its really good to expose that side. Cutting is damaging i know from experience and i know alot of close people to my heart that used to or still does. if this is their mind set or even my mind set, it scares me and it is something i never want to go back too.

Very nice use of thoughts and words. I like the set-up of the poem. Made me read again. The poem is good because it make the reader think and have visions of the thoughts. The goal of the writer. I like the wide open feel of thoughts. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

I can understand this, and I find every line to be true and its exactly how i felt but i'm going to be a hypocrite by telling you that its not good to cut and i hope you stop or already have stopped. anyway back to the poem it was amazing i loved it i could relate and i love having that connection with a piece of writing. it was amazing to read and i hope to see so much more amazing work by you. keep up the amazing work =).

An expose`, secrets confessed, anxiety
displayed..... The creative picture is very
original .
Very talented poem filled with images we
could all forget, but they help us to understand.
Graphic and indelible, finely drawn.

wow woman you got some gross descriptive words but in a good way. it makes you squirm as the words are bold and set straight.

[The Winter Grey]

This is very dark, but also very well-written and honest. It's like you're sharing a part of your soul, and despite the pain and the darkness in this piece, it's hard not to see this as beautiful.

you write well but this one is kind of a little scary... you're young and there's so much more in the world to look forward too, many beautiful things to see and yet to discover.....

You need to meditate many times to remove the depression that is killing you inside. FOCUS. You are very good :)

creepy is right, I am part of the "Cutters" and this poem pretty much describe how I feel when I do it. Good poem

If you think cutting yourself is sick, you should get into intravenous drug use. That's where it's at.
