Twist

There is a picture

with two colors

it is very painful

the color is red

that is shed by a paintbrush

the canvas is another color

i bet you couldn't guess

this picture can be seen by some

but i have to be around

for i am the canvas

it's not painted by a brush

if you haven't guessed

my paintbrush is a knife

my body is the canvas

it's not a pretty picture

instead it was a twist

that was an unexpected ending! I like the poem. I don't know if you're really a cutter or you're just getting out of yourself and into someone else for the purpose of writing, but try a magic marker on your skin instead. I had a friend who drew on herself to keep from cutting and she said it worked to help her stop. XOXO

Whoa!! Great write.. Quite easy to interpret .. Thats a positive.. I dunno if that helps you to cope with all the anger/emotion within you. I havent done it.. So i dunno if its good or bad. To b frank I dont really support that kinda stuff but full marks fr ur writing. Keep up d work :)

thank you for your review.

Again, you paint us words with your pen that describe the brutality of emotions that well up inside of you and cause you to cut. What you write is real and that is what makes it most effective.
