Array ( [sid] => 5738 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => cutter [time] => 2002-10-27 20:45:00 [hometext] => its pretty much self explanatory. some people do this for various reasons.... i'm just one of them
let me know what you think [bodytext] => i'm a cutter...
i didn't know they had a name for me
for what i am.
i lose reality
Only one way to bring it back
piercing pain and a sharp knife.
you see,i can't control my feelings
i can't tell whats right or wrong sometimes
i guess you could say i mean nothing to myself
lack of confidence or whatever
but maybe i see what you don't see
that the hopelessness lasts forever
reality is how you percieve it.
but i think my brain plays tricks
no running from it anymore
soon i'l cross the river stix [comments] => 5 [counter] => 233 [topic] => 32 [informant] => idiotbox [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 10 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )

I don't understand this affliction, and the poem doesn't help. Obviously you're looking for some attention and here you have some of mine now. I give this a 3.6 on the Nortiscale.

It does only relieve the pain or lack of pain temporarily. I have been there and done that too. You can get help for this! Nice write! I pray that you can get past this.

I read your comment to the 'Cutter' poem and I just want to say that most people with these sorts of problems do not do it for attention-writing a poem like this could be a way to get the feelings out-or even a plea for help. Just because you do not understand this 'affliction,' do not assume she is not hurting inside and doing this for real-because you wouldn't know-and if she is doing this-a pitiless comment like yours could really add to the pain. I am not a cutter-but I do know what it is like to be hurting inside and have people think my actions and poems were "attention getters"-when what I really needed was some understanding - and to know that people cared about whether or not I hurt myself-and were not testing me to see if I actually would. Just please be careful what you say....
