I stopped because I was afraid people would find out and send me to therepy and something, which I didn't need because poetry is my therepy. [bodytext] => I reach for the knife
Third drawer from the bottom
Only when I need to
Don't worry
Please, don't care
Trust me this time
Let me take care
And bandage my own arms
I'll be fine
If you just leave me here to cry

As the blade is drawing closer
My mind won't settle down
Because this tear filled, frantic feeling
Just leaves me here to drown

But the pain sends shivers through me
Reminds me of my skin
Makes the tears flow a little slower
Make the blood rise a lttle faster
Make the spinning stop altogether
Remind me again
That I'm still here

Let me take care
And bandage my own arms
I'll be fine
If you just leave me here to cry [comments] => 3 [counter] => 184 [topic] => 65 [informant] => iluvpencils [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 3 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => toughstuff )

Wonderful and powerful poem. I really liked it. I admire your strength in being able to stop cutting. I'm battleing it as we speak. I hope the times have treated you well and you're much better now. Amazing write. Thanx for sharing.
