Because

I cut just to see the blood

Trickle down my wrist

Like the tears i cry

Have you ever wanted to die?

Just to be out of this world?

Crawl in a hole, lay there,

As you have to look at the people

The people that you thought care

Well im done with all the lies

If you really care look into my eyes,

You would see someone who's hurt

Someone sick of being walked on,

Kicked around like the dust and dirt.

I cut to feel the power

The power over myself

Power to control

Control what? you ask

Nothings under my control

Its all in there control

They put me here

They can take me out

I didn't come willingly

I did tear

I cut because i gave up

Gave up on myself

It helps me cope,

Ive thought about a rope

But it would give them

Give them Satisfaction

Satisfaction of me laying

Laying lifeless 6 ft under

Time to time i will look up

Little do they know

Im ready to go

I cut to fill a hole,

A hole in my heart

A hole in my head

Where the guns to my temple

Finger tense on the trigger

Just a single thought

Comes to my mind

Just PULL

Wow... all I can say is wow.... that left me with goosebumps and a deep sadness.... I can relate to your writing and I love your style, I'm sorry for your pain and lack of control. This piece is beautifully written and brought up so many emotions that people in this situation feel.
"I cut because i gave up

I love his part because you explain well one of the reasons people cut, they give up. Another is to take away from emotional pain they are experiencing. I like this part too because you state that it would give "them" satisfaction, which is so true. If you are referring to the ones who caused you pain, then don't give them that satisfaction, you are worth so much more than they ever will be. Keep writing :)

Very powerful poem and very close to my heart(apart from the cutting part)..when others decide for you..too familiar to me..

This is a well written piece, but I am alarmed at the fascination with death. It seems a lot of young people share this fascination, and that is tragic, and they have a need to write about it. I don't know how many pieces on this topic I've read on WC, but there have been a lot. The alternative I think is to find something in life that holds your fascination. When this happens you again find joy in living and life becomes wonderful since you can chase that which fascinates you. And I think this is really not so hard since there are so many things that are fascinating in life. Perhaps I was fortunate to have become fascinated early in life with science. This has always propelled me forward and each new discovery gives joy and a greed to more. My fondest wish is that everyone can find such a fascination, be it science, music, art, helping others, cooking, whatever. It doesn't matter.

All my best wishes,

Rick
