[time] => 2004-11-23 14:47:03 [hometext] => Dedicated to Alex, you're one of the only people who can help me (Katelin you too) I'm sorry I'm trying to stop...it's just too damn hard [bodytext] => I’m try my hardest, I’m trying to stop
Yet pain I haven’t felt enough
I know how much I hurt you when I carve into my flesh
But please stay with me you’re all I have left
And I know that you realize the reason I feel
That happiness for me will never be real
You’re the only one who truly understands me
The only able to set me free
From my morbid desires, the pain that I lust
The scars on my skin are collecting like dust
Are you the only one out there willing to help me get by?
The one person who’d miss me once I finally die
You noticed me when no one else had
So tell me why must everything turn out so bad?
Can you give me reason for why I’m depressed?
And tell me why my emotions are kept repressed
Yet, I’ll give it my all to end desire for pain
And allow the blood to flow free within my veins
At last I’ll put the razorblade down for good
And return living the life I should
Erasing the memories of a painful past
Hoping this new happiness will forever last
Yet deep inside we both know this joy I feign
The scars of my past will forever remain
So with this blade I slit my skin
Please forgive my unwanted sin [comments] => 2 [counter] => 186 [topic] => 48 [informant] => EternalNight4x [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )

Very deep and powerfull moving poem. A selfinjury life is not a easy life. I know I selfharm as well. All selfinjury have their own reason why they harm themselves. And many scars that will last a life time. But we still do it. I found in my life it helps to talk to other selfharmers they can relate on a level the others can not. We understand the need to bleed. This dark sin that lies in the past. Each of us have one each of us are tring to escape. Mine is I'm allready dieing. But there are people who care. People who understand Good luck and hope you see and brighter and happier tomorrow EternalNight4x.

It's addictive, I know it is... but you just have to try, try, try. I know you probably just want to scream, but it can be overcome... Devin, we love you (or at least I do!) and I don't want you to suffer anymore. It's so hard to sit here and not be able to just make things stop... Dev, I'll always be here for you!
