Array ( [sid] => 97448 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Fighting Within to Live [time] => 2005-06-09 17:00:20 [hometext] => A poem I wrote to get some of my feelings out about trying to stop cutting myself [bodytext] => Somehow they got to me
saw through my eyes
and tore through all the lies
Out in the open –
a deer caught in the headlights
Exposed before I decomposed
I hurt them. . .
They cry, as I wonder why
They didn’t seem to care or
even notice
I was hurting, but
one look at my wrists and there
they go crying
Saying they love me. . .
I think they are lying
They all ask me to promise them I’ll stop
What can I do? I’ve been caught
So quickly I promise and think things will
soon be right
but it won’t go down before a fight
I fight with myself –
my darkened mind
I want to stop – I need to stop, but I can’t
The blood has taken me over –
bound me prisoner
I don’t deserve life
I am dead inside
filled with strife
It’s too late to turn back
The door behind me has closed
I am marked forever by
the scars I create
A new me has emerged – one I fear and hate
An Angel of Darkness
The Princess of Death
My soul is trapped within -- battling to stay alive
Help me to save me from myself
before it becomes too late

wow. this poem defitnetly brings me back in time. well, first off, i like the emotion and how you included the people's reaction to your secret. i also think the end is the most powerful part of the poem and i think you did a good job=).

This is a really good poem and i can honestly relate! Im going through the exact same situation, its a tough thing to deal with, to know youre doing something wrong and dangerous but to not be able to stop. The temporary relief is addicting, well to me. If you ever need to talk about anything, know im here to listen and help in any way i can. Feel free to email me @ melissie910@aol.com..if u want u cud read some of my poems..just a thought.
Hope things work out for you! xoxo
