All pink with torn flesh
Smiling at us as if to dull the
throbbing aching in our hearts and minds...
He merely offered the explaination
That he'd gotten mad at himself
For no wrongdoing
And we just stared at him
In pain.

I looked down at myself
Upon the scars freshly marked on my legs
Scars shaped like asteriks
Little lines up and down my arms.
Wanting nothing more than to slash.

in class I yelled at him
for cuttng himself
He told me I had no basis for complaint
Pointing at the scars I had
Don't you understand, I asked
It's right for me
And not for you. [comments] => 5 [counter] => 172 [topic] => 13 [informant] => Blue [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

Not For You

This is wow, just because I've been through it with many friends, including you and Tim. It saddens me, everytime that something like cutting yourself happens. At least there are steps to getting better.
