Beautiful Art

~I make art best at night~

At night,

I make beautiful art,

Dark and red,

They're my best works

But dear,

They do not make,

You feel better,

They will kill you

Their color,

Makes me feel alive,

Dripping slowly down,

Onto my chic canvas

Oh honey,

They are telling lies,

You're falling deeper,

Into their dark hate

Lovely art,

Displayed for no one,

For it's mine,

And only mine alone

You shouldn't,

Don't give into them,

They won't help,

For they're your demons

Truthful words,

Only they tell me,

Helping me create,

My beautiful, dark works

Why dear,

This can't be right,

You're hurting yourself,

Not making it better

I'm dazzled,

By this new method,

It's truly the,

Best kind of art

Why can't,

You listen to me,

This won't work,

You'll end up dead

The canvas,

Is just so perfect,

And it needs,

To be finally finished

You say,

Many times it's done,

You keep adding,

More and more lines

What's happening,

I can't stop now,

So many colors,

Of the dark red

Now I,

Am the right one,

Tried to stop,

But now you can't

Help me,

The pain won't stop,

Relief's left me,

And now you have

I can't,

Hold on any longer,

You put this,

Upon yourself, my dear

I see,

That you won't help,

That you've left,

So now I'm lost

You should've,

Listened to me first,

Then you wouldn't,

Be like this now

I'm sorry,

I wish to stop,

But now it's,

All I've got left

Your art,

Isn't at all beautiful,

It's just pain,

That you can't channel

I battle,

Myself to stop this,

But always lose,

And continue my art

It's dark,

When you make art,

But it doesn't,

Help, you just hurt

What am,

I doing to myself,

All this does,

Is give temporary relief

Oh honey,

Don't you get it,

This isn't art,

This is all self-harm..

Author's Note

I made this for everyone who's going through or went through self-harm.. If any of you are thinking about self-harming, don't do it. Ever. This is extremely serious and it won't make you feel better. Don't start it. Self-harming isn't just cutting, but most people think of it as cutting or burning. Don't start it, don't try it, don't do it. It will eat you alive. If you need someone to vent or talk to, just message me. Please. Don't do it.

Well, Willa, I can completely relate to this. I love how emotion filled and dark this is, though I know it's suppose to be a kind of serious warning, this is what I get from it. I get the warning and then dark feeling. This was a very well done poem and I love the perception you put into it. The battle and then thoughts of cutting and self-harm at not always easy to write accurately or to be written so that it connects with people. But this is one of the ones that can completely connect with those that do things such as this.
As I was reading this, I was listening to this song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PeswW-y_6io) and seemed to put a feeling into it as I was writing.
Anyway, I'm going to say, I apologize for not being around for quite some time (yes, I know that doesn't have to do with this review or poem haha) Good job Willa, once again

I'm glad someone could relate. Thank you so much :) And it is perfectly okay that you haven't. Thank you again, Felecia.

Hmm, one side sounds like someone I know and the other as well. Why is this I wonder?

Beautiful and dark. Poetry and writing is the greatest way to vent.
