Emotions of A Cutter

The wound is deep

But I feel no pain

For I did this

To myslef

 

It feels good

To let the pain and stress go

For I can't take this

Too much longer

 

I do this because

It's the only way I know

The only way I know

To let this pain go

 

So as I take the knife

And slowly press it to my thigh

I feel no pain

Only a hushed cry

 

I slice away at my wrists

Waiting for a way out

I'm not giving up

I still have some kind of hope left

 

But that hope faids

As I roll up my sleeves

And see the scars that I've made

Can someone help me please?

 

My wrists, my arms,

My legs, My thighs

Their all scared

I need someone to save me from these stressful bars

What a good poem you have written, pure feelings and honesty - I can relate to every word you wrote. It is good to release how you feel through words, I know it really helps me.. to do simple things even breathe.
Thank you for sharing

I picked to read this one first because it hits home for me x) It was very easy to connect to this poem, which made me emotional about it. I used to cut myself, and not too recently started up again. I wrote a poem about it a while ago, and I might post it up. So you can compare to that as well ;) haha.
I think the format of this poem fit the way you read it very well. The pauses were just in the right place.

I do this because

It's the only way I know

The only way I know

To let this pain go

This was the most absolute true stanza for me. That's the thing that hurts the most. I do this, because I don't know any other way to feel good, to let all of that crap and stress and hurt go away. Plus I really loved how you repeated "It's the only way I know, the only way I know", and also how you rhymed it perfectly with the sentence after "to let this pain go". That was I think, your best stanza in the poem.
Personally, I think the only problem with this was because you didn't go deep enough into it. It seemed like you were just getting the outer layers of the feel and of what happens. I felt like maybe you could have dug in deeper into how they feel or why they do it. It would have made it more intense and given a more emotional attachment to cutters, and even to people who don't cut and don't understand why somebody might do that.
But anyways, great work! I'll most likely be coming back to read more, you have a really good talent here(:
