Cut deeper and deeper into
my creamy white skin
soon turns red and raw.

It throbs, and pains
but i keep cutting.

Deeper and deeper
Into my skin, into my soul.

Raised welts. The badge
of a masachist.

Blood drips from my arm
to the creamy white sheet.
Like my arm, a blank canvas,
stained by my blood.
My depression.

Violated and alone.

This is so sad Ashleigh I can relate to this a lot. I thought a masochist was someone who hurt kids, but my mom said someone that likes to feel pain. I like to feel pain sometimes as well it makes me feel all calm, but Ashleigh cutting is NOT the answer. I hope poems like this is a release for you. I love the lines stained by my blood and depression... wow this is good.
