Array ( [sid] => 48175 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Cut [time] => 2004-05-19 01:31:42 [hometext] => My battle with self-injury. Written a long time ago. [bodytext] => Staring into my shameless blade
My hopes and dreams begin to fade
I can see myself as I gaze
A hopeless thought in a hopeless daze
The shining reflection in silver I see
The price I pay for being me
Across my arm, across my leg
Give me peace, please I beg
When will I feel, when will I cry?
When will I live, when will I die?
When will I see what you see?
When will I feel you, feeling me?
Here are the scars that hide my pain
Now I am ready for the rain
Tell me why the rain is red
Tell me why I feel so dead
My shameless blade, such a release
Shining silver bringing such peace
I can see my reflection like a mirror
Blurred with rage, blurred with fear
My heart bleeds, pours outside
Where can I run, where can I hide?
Don’t ever look upon my face
And choose to judge me with no grace
Everything I know, I know is wrong
Everything I’ve known, known for so long
It is from grace that I fell
Into my own prison, my Hell
Look into my poisoned eyes
Listen to my blood red cries
I look and watch the blood flow through
My aching heart, I know nothing true
So I take the razor from underneath the bed
Stare at the corners, blotches of red
Roll up my jeans and run the blade across my skin
The dark dripping blood, my heroin.

Staring into my shameless blade
My hopes and dreams begin to fade
I can see myself as I gaze
A hopeless thought in a hopeless daze
The shining reflection in silver I see

When will I feel, when will I cry?
When will I live, when will I die?

Tell me why the rain is red
Tell me why I feel so dead

So full of raw emotion... makes one shiver knowing that someone can be so depressed to do this to themselves... feel so helpless and hopeless...
A good write... Amanda... keep it up...

was here at a point in my life. The pain fades but the scars are a reminder. It does get easier but it is a long road

Wow... you have SUCH an amazing talent. There was just so much emotion... I identified sooo much... I hope you feel better now... It brought me back to my own lonely nights, sitting at home... just... WOW.
