Array ( [sid] => 33894 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Sweet Release [time] => 2004-02-04 22:42:01 [hometext] => This poem is quite self-explanitory. I have a problem that most people do not understand. So here it is, in black and white. [bodytext] => O sweet release,
O natural high,
The demons escape,
Through the hurricaine's eye.
It calms the disease I feed within,
The rage that attacks the lengths of my skin.
I lay hypnotized in a crimson sleep,
dissasociated from the pain that begins to leak.
Streams of blood run down my arm,
No longer can your words cause me any harm.
Imploding with violence,
While screaming in silence,
These ghosts I face,
This hate erased.
Your tirade of anger provokes the blood,
Extraordinary standards that I can't rise above.
Its not what you think,
No attempt of suicide,
Rather,its my struggle,
My struggle to stay alive.
I want to make you happy,
I want to make you proud,
Instead so much worry floods me,
Lord I feel like I could drown.
So I'm left to remedy the stress,
The only way I know best,
And the cycle begins,
Cutting,
Slashing,
Will it ever end? [comments] => 5 [counter] => 231 [topic] => 59 [informant] => LaurenShields [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 14 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => psychoticpoems )

The demons escape,
Through the hurricaine's eye.

I am but 22, but many yrs ago, my life took an unexpected turn, and I started cutting, and when I wasn't, I was pricking my fingertips. My troubles were out of my body, with the blood. But it stoped, when I realized, that the scars last a lifetime, and I was ready to move on... I hope someday you find your sweet release in anything but crimson pain....
