Array ( [sid] => 41532 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Self-Injury [time] => 2004-04-02 21:41:46 [hometext] => * This is dedicated (I was gonna say loosely dedicated, but it is so no case in hiding it) to my buddy Cancer. * [bodytext] => I hold my scarce beating heart
In the palm of my hand
Outraged by my own complacency
Every night I dine with fear
And court the very thoughts
That cause me the most pain
I hate my life
Just like I always have
So lost, this emotion eats away
I crave this form of self-injury
Head hurting, can't (won't) write about
This searing anguish

Please kill me
Please remind me why I'm here
Please tell me why this pain
Always stays inside, inside
This hate keeps me alive at night
When the taunting is the loudest
Can't believe this immense pain
That I've spawned for myself
Reliving past events
And blocking out the hear and now
Can someone please help me?
So lonely...

Self-Injury

You are becoming one of my favorite poets on this site. Your expression is so fluid and vivid! It is a shame that pain is the pilot of your vehicle! Write on, bobo, write on. ; 0 )
