But my painting never stops
The blood it keeps on falling
And to the ground it drops

The blood that I release
As it flows away
Takes away my troubles
To deal with another day

I can forget my troubles
If only for a time
But it proves the thing I'm dreading
That my life is no longer mine

I can't control my actions
I can't control my thoughts
But it brings me some reliefe
Reliefe I've dearly sought

The blood that I realese
As it flows away
Reminds me i'm not dead
But that I will be some day [comments] => 2 [counter] => 454 [topic] => 72 [informant] => Evanescencefreak [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => self-harmpoetry )

An Artist I Am

The blood it keeps on falling
And to the ground it drops

The blood that I release

If only for a time
But it proves the thing I'm dreading
That my life is no longer mine

I can't control my actions
I can't control my thoughts
But it brings me some reliefe
Reliefe I've dearly sought

The blood that I realese
As it flows away
Reminds me i'm not dead
But that I will be some day

What a great poem! its so vivid in imagery and, while it does bring back memories of my own, reminds me of how writing about it can somehow make you feel a little better. ** self promotion reference removed from comment ** Moderator_18

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
