It's taking over me,
Taking away who I am,
Instead of someone I should be.

A left arm covered in scars,
My inner child was tortured,
I cry for release,
There is no beauty all is gone.

My addiction,
Nobody knows my secret,
No-one sees my falling tears,
They won't care if I bleed.

Endless nights of no sleep,
Thoughts of fear running in my head,
Would it matter if I were dead?
Hurtful memories just won't go.

My addiction,
One more cut to add,
Another tear to shed,
A hundred nights of being alone. [comments] => 12 [counter] => 268 [topic] => 13 [informant] => carebear [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 0 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )
My Addiction

My addiction,
It's taking over me,
Taking away who I am,
Instead of someone I should be.

A left arm covered in scars,
My inner child was tortured,
I cry for release,
There is no beauty all is gone.

My addiction,
Nobody knows my secret,
No-one sees my falling tears,
They won't care if I bleed.

Endless nights of no sleep,
Thoughts of fear running in my head,
Would it matter if I were dead?
Hurtful memories just won't go.

My addiction,
One more cut to add,
Another tear to shed,
A hundred nights of being alone.

this was very sad, but very good. Although I for one would 'care' if u bled and I think lots of other ppl would as well. Good poem never stop writing.

so very sad I can understand your pain and your inner child reaching out for comfort but I cant understand the cutting part (Im not saying that to judge you either) I only wish I did understand more so I could comfort you in some way or be of some help.Bobo is right there are many people who care if you hurt and bleed Im one of them.
