Self-Harm Me Not

7/13/11

You wonder why
Because you don't understand
So you ask me questions
Wanting truthful answers
So that's what I'll give you
Just beware the brutality

I cut
To bleed
To feel
To release
To escape
To hurt

I cut
My wrist
My arm
My fingers
My legs
My stomach

Even with this knowledge
You are still confused
But I can't make sense of it
No matter how hard I try
Because it's not a logical act
So maybe I should self-harm me not

It doesn't make sense to people who don't understand what it's like, but it does make sense to the ones who do know what it's like. Nice job with your poem.
