this 'demon' inside me

Contributed by the_temptation_of_suicide on Tuesday, 17th December 2002 @ 11:20:00 PM in AEST
Topic: Suicide



An urge comes over me,
One I cannot control,
Its like a demon inside me,
Possessing my soul.

I don’t want to do it,
And I try to fight,
But this ‘demon’ finds blood,
A beautiful sight.

I don’t know what im doing,
When I cause myself harm,
The ‘demon’ feels accomplished,
When it looks upon my arm.

Im sick of being like this,
Wish this ‘demon’ would go away,
But it keeps coming back,
When ive had a bad day.

I don’t like the marks,
That are on my arm,
But ive been hurting so badly,
So I have 2 self harm.

Feelings are just feelings,
Cant explain how I feel,
But the cuts in my wrists,
Instead r real.

These cuts u see,
Let me know im alive,
But sometimes I wish,
That I could just die.

Well....what do i say.....what does one say to this...or what would you like me to say maybe is what i should be saying....here: i know how to say it.: Ahem...once i had someone in my life that had his own "demon" inside to..and my name was marked on his arm and he always told me...no matter how things were between me and him whether they were good or bad....he would say...."You are my sanity" "You are the only person who can save me"....i related to how he was feeling so deeply though because i myself have sat in a place where i cut almost everyday before in my life...there have been times that i've cut since being there in that dark place but only when im punishing myself.....i dont cut to feel like most people do...but i can certainly relate to where your coming from here...so if you need to talk about your "demon" that's inside of you....i am a good listener .....my heart is right there with you ...

What the Demon wants is your space. It,s trying to get you to move "over." Listen-up good! There's nothing there
My experience was that a moment before the impact (facing certain death) the brain switches off! It was as though I'd been watching telly and somebody cut the power.
Total darkness nothing. I was not even registering the darkness.
How many days this lasted I'll never know.

From nowhere I saw the small corner of a window.......I began to realise that if I concentrated hard I could make it grow.......
and grow .....and grow.....until a voice said "You've come back to us then."

I have never done anything but enjoy life since every hour of every day.

About seven years later I suddenly realised I could smell bacon cooking. At last my sense of smell had returned and I was whole again. I rushed out into the garden (in my pyjamas) and smelled every flower I could find.

DONT GO! THERE IS NOTHING THERE!

i had my friend read this. she has been having a hard time expressing why she does this and we both agree that u found the right words. anyways, i think it is one of my favorite poems i have read there is so much feeling and everything. my friend was commited into the mental hospital for this and has been getting help. she still self harms, but its not as deep or as often as before... well my suggestion is to get a phsycoligist, i was skeptical about them and so was my friend but i think that for some people they can help... anyways great write... ~Apryl

Most of these people dont even understand what you are saying they say they do and tell you things only get better and to hang in there.
For what reason I am a true suicidal person
I have over two hundred scars on both arms not to mention others and Im telling you that youll never get over it if your as true as you say you are. In the meantime while your still living check out some other true suicidal poetry it makes me laugh

it's insane how often I feel like this and how well you said what I feel. I guess the only thing I can say is that I've learned not to think it can't get any worse because it's always a lie.

suicidal, he may not be right and you may not be either, I'm not judging who's right or wrong but don't speak against someone elses beliefs please. I don't believe in "God" either but it doesn't mean I have the right to say he's not there to other people who do believe.

your poem is great - your feelings scare me - I don't understand them and wouldn't pretend to - I do understand depression and suicide - most people do but are afrraid to admit to it - I've neer tried to kill myself - not on purpose anyway - I tend to wallow in depression until everything fades to black - hope you find some peace/happiness - keep writing - I think it helps to control negative energy -
