I’m not sure about the end so I need help to maybe change it. Hope you’ll give me feedback and help me. [bodytext] => I want to bleed
I want to scream
But you’re voice is ringing in my ears

I can not stand to see your hurt eyes
I can not stand to feel the burning pain
But I hope you can live with me cutting my pain away

I’d rather bleed then cry
I know you can’t understand why
But I make sure you never see me cry

Just let me bleed the pain away
Just pretend that you don’t see
Just wait, give me time, you’ll have me back in the end

It's hard to understand what self harm actually does for one - if you've never been there. That would be why so many are in the dark as to its solution. Which in the long run, honestly won't help you at all, neither does it really help in the present, just tends to numb and put a temporary fix on the situation. There are better ways of dealing with problems, and at the moment (don't take this the wrong way) your ignorance won't allow you to see them. Ignorance in the definition, that you are unaware of another solution. Understand? Maybe not. But people tend to go with what they're used to. What they feel comfortable with, and that which they think they are in control of. Self harm allows that.

A very well thought out poem, I'd say. I've been there myself, still believe in that seventh line too. But it's also different for each person. Just know, there are other ways of handling stress and problems/vendetta's whatever the situation may be. Open your eyes and realize there are people that want to help you, help yourself, without causing pain in any shape or form. And chin up, things are bound to get easier for everyone and anyone.

An emotive poem, obviously. And I'm glad I had the chance to read and comment. Thank you for posting. I hope things start turning around for you.

-Cassy

Hey
Well that was very good
and very upsetting..
I am an Ex cutter
now I take it out on piercing myself
but I am fully understanding
I think your friend is scared for you
that you are going to cut to deep
push to far
then she or he will lose a freind...
You should stop, but I am not going to tell you right from wrong
I am here if ever you need someone to talk to about cutting
I stoped because I made a promise
and that promise was broken 16 times
but now I have stopped for good
because I love the person my promise is meant for...

but for now
I like your ending
but if you want to change it
how bout you do something like

*Just let me bleed the pain away
Just pretend that you don’t see
Just wait, give me time
but for now I need to bleed*

Just a suggestion
