[hometext] => During my depression I cut myself repeatedly - not for attention but to punish myself. It has taken ten tears to begin to discover the reason but I hope this poem shows some insight to someone who is in turmoil.
[bodytext] => DUALITY Two people, yet as one. Why is this supposed to be? We are born alone all said and done Yet why do I never feel free? Free as an individual? For me an alien concept, Because there is a residual, Another me who’s quite inept. Why when I hold the knife Does the other not interfere? I cut and try to end my strife The other lets me persevere. Feel better when a blade cuts a vein? Of course it does until I’ve bled. Then there’s guilt and blood and I feel insane The other laughs and I just feel dread. Why slash and cut just to punish? So easier to rant and rave. But some have no friends to relish And give them what they crave. Mock not the cutter or what they do. They crave no attention for their act Be grateful that it is not you Could you explain or interact. The doctors ask you why you do it But like twins you cannot say. There is the one who cannot quit But the other who craves another day. Alistair Muir 04/04/2010.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
