Razor Blade Confetti

This is my brain on natural drugs 

Tossed into my skull 

Brain matter in shatters 

It hurts to think 

Handful after handful 

It's falling from the sky above 

I try to shield my face 

But to no avail 

Celebrate the pain 

I will create 

I am the mistake 

Depression and self-injury 

Fling up the thousands of shiny, steel blades 

Plunge them into my mind 

Filling the cells 

With a razor sharp edge 

It hurts to blink 

I sink 

Can't think 

The razor blade confetti 

Blows around in my brain 

All thoughts are cut with ease 

Destroyed

Why do I don't even have to think deeper into that peom to love it as it is? The thing about peoms is that you usually need to think about it in a different view and then understand. I actually imagined someone who was being cut by razor blade confetti, yet it was powerful to read. But I just like to read your works, don't think about it and making my mind imagine what it decides. This one was painful, in a good way and I appreciate your dark writing, it makes it so powerful and outstanding. Great job, as always!

I have always had a fascination with the brain. Have ready many books on neuroplasticity. Dark and intelligent this poem is. I really "feel" every line, especially from personal experience.

I personally know how it is to experience the self-injury phase. I gave it up almost a year ago come October, but went through it on and off for 5 years. It wasnt an easy thing to give up, but I learned to grow from something new; writing. Producing words and poetry has really helped me find the inner problem and how to effectively direct away from it. The whole experience drained me and it took me a long time to realize how it began to affect those around me. In my eyes, I figured "why are they upset about what I'm doing if they aren't doing it themselves? Then would they understand what I'm truly going through". It's a struggle, but there's always a way out. We most always have a choice.

As a general rule i hate poetry, even when I'm writing it, there is something about it that annoys me but this is an exception to that rule. It brought back a few forgotten memories. For something written from writers block this is extremely good, well done.

Hey! It's interesting to see that you don't really like poetry ( I agree in some instance because it can be a bit fanciful and annoying - even though all I write on here IS poetry ha) and that you liked this poem! Well I must be doing something right haha! Thank you for your review, I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

Anytime a razor is used you know someone's has pain. depression is mentioned that hurts the brain searching for answers and finding only strain weaken by the pain on the brain. I wish you well and may God Heal. Blessing from me to you God's in the Deal.

Hey! thanks for the review and your kind words, this isn't a personal poem though, I just wrote it when I had writer's block. :)

A world of hurt and pain in your words. So much pain that s elf-injury is the only way back to you...but it doesn't like long. A vicious cycle. Very well written poem.
