When pain gets unbearable

Heart welled up with pain,
All she wanted to do was shout
One slit on the wrist
And she could feel all the pain draining out.

As someone who has never self-harmed in this way, you helped me to glimpse a slightly better understanding of it. It brings me such sadness to know of such great pain inflicted by self and beyond. I wish you healing as you so desire and deserve it.

Your poem is short but intense!!! I so much love it @Vernika

[Vernika]

Thanks. Glad you liked it.

I feel you. I feel your pain.

Very painful story. It's one of those catch 22 situations. Her unbearable pain causes herself to inflict yet more physical pain. You've conveyed the story very skillfully. Well done.

[Vernika]

Yeah and causing pain to get rid of pain is just not right. Thanks for the review.

Ouch... The pain is expressed very well. I hope this person finds a different way to drain the pain soon because life also drains away with every cut.
Great rhyme.

[Vernika]

That's actually what she's trying to do. Draining away life to drain out her pain. That's the story of most people around. Sadly, they don't find better ways. Thank you very much for reading all my texts!

You're very welcome. I enjoy your writing. :)

This one is dark yet has a sense of aura around it. More often than not, people choose the latter to let go of their anger, their emotions. Pain, to fight pain. Pain, that interestingly feels like bliss. A good write.

[Vernika]

Yeah! That's the irony of life. People choose pain to overcome pain. They never even try to talk things out. They think silence would suffocate the pain. It doesn't. Well, thanks a lot for the review.

Well. . I think usually silence does suffocate our pain. . If there is no one to hear us out, share our pain, then it's easier to find solace in a different kind of pain that would make us forget reality. .
You are welcome :)

[Vernika]

That might be true for some but then generally, silence leads to destruction. Mostly self destruction.

[TheLostMind]

This is exactly what I am trying to say. . Silence suffocates our pain.. We choose different ways to let go of it. .Yes, silence leads to self destruction. .

[Vernika]

Rightly said!
