Tears of blood

This is a poem I wrote for my friends who have the problem of cutting. Luckily I am being strong and stopping. It is hard but writing helps.

Tears of blood screaming to be let free,

To flow out of my veins and expel the badness

The emotions I had locked away.

They break out and flow away,

Never to be seen again,

For an instant it is good,

Empty of badness and nothing in the world can hurt you.

Then you realize all you are is empty.

There is no happiness left.

All that is left it a scared living corpse.

Tears of blood building inside again,

Only to flow again and the emptiness to come again.

O tears of blood flow out of me.

Never return or build again.

Tears of blood flow away.

Let the scars heal, please stop this cycle.

I'm just becoming more empty,

More of just a scared corpse.

O tears of blood,

Without you I am only living scar,

With you I'm in the choking of emotions.

Tears of blood you cruel cycle.

Let it end.

Sorry it's a little all over the place

It's not all over the place, believe me. I've never cut, but I have done things I regret and never want to do again, but am dragged to repeatedly do so. Because I want to. But I know it just breaks me so I'm trying to stop as well.

I hear and feel the desperation; and the fleeting happiness, that short moment of calm where things feel okay--then suddenly just screw up again.

But in the end, I guess it whatever fear just has to be confronted so that whatever raging torrent of emotions there may be will calm down. That's how I see it. For me.

You might look at it in a different way. And I don't know you, but I'm proud of you for trying, at least trying to stop. And this beautiful poem.

Writing always helps.

Not all over the place, its actually quite organized. I like it bc your thoughts and voice of reason becomes scattered when you cut, and this piece illustrates that.

Ah, I could relate to this piece well. It's not too sloppy, and it is organized, or at least by my standards. The scared little corpse part caught my attention. Well done.
