Razor Sharp Addiction
When you feel the stress you reach for the piece of steel you have made your friend believing it is
Going to be there at the end and when you carve your flesh just so that when the blood runs you
Gain your inner peace but soon afterwards you find your mind being taken by the darkness you just
Cut from your skin then you reach for the piece of steel that seemed to understand more than
Anything or anyone ever could because it never hurt you unless you forced it because it never
Shunned you for your mistakes neither did it make you feel guilty it never left you out on your own
It always made you feel better without wanting anything in return you always wanted to learn how
Not to burn in this world but you were only taught to turn away from the world because it never
Showed mercy or courtesy to you as you drag your tortured soul through each day without any
Goal at all you seem to just drift by and every time you cry deep inside a part of you dies and you
Feel somewhat less real then you suffer the ultimate torture you don’t know who you are anymore
As you continue in this unhealthy state of which will desecrate happiness and lure darkness into
Your heart like a dart into a heart it pierces through the flesh and lets your blood escape from
Where it should remain all you hold dear leaves you all that you ever wanted will escape you and
Leave your disheartened and damaged soul to fight alone against the darkness that has consumed
You

ive been addicted to cuttin since i was 11.. an im 16 now, i do it cause i like the blood i like the rush.. i can totally relate to this peom..
beautiful i love i feel this way every day consumed by the darkness and voices
wow. this poem is amazing. i used to be a cutter, then i noticed the ones who loved me, and stopped being blind. i realized it was rude to block others out when really there is someone who loves you, always, no matter what you think. after that, i vowed to never cut again because there are others who have it way worse, and they are happy. when i looked at myself i was disgusted by what i saw, a girl consumed by her own pleasures and emotions. i turned my life around on the tip of a blade. ive had urges to cut again, every once in a while it just tugs in my heart, but i remember my vow. not because i made it a rule for myself, but because i remember why i made it.
