Cutting

A poem about a battle I have won.

I know it’s a illness
A issue for sure
But I never stop
Till no more can I endure

It was the thought of death
That kept me going
Knowing one day it’d be over
Was what kept my blood flowing

But now, I cut no more
Those days are now behind me
I can still feel it linger, though
Waiting for me, haunting

I can totally connect with this, and i really liked the way you describved it through this poem. It's a really bad disease that can take over your life, but you and i both overcame and i'm sure others will too. :) Great poem

I worked with someone who had this problem some years ago. It's so sad to see. I'm very happy that you have stopped! You have much more wonderful writing to do. The poem seems to express the suddeness of your resolve by its length. Not having it be a drawn out process of thinking about quitting, just stopping right now.
I like the poem, but it is sad; then finishes on a brighter note!

Bravo I dont understand the disease but i am glad you do

Congratulations to you for winning this battle. I find it interesting that you wrote

"It was the thought of death
That kept me going"

I think I would feel oppositely. The thought of death being inevitable and the current issues being limited in scope helps keep me from being overwhelmed.

Wow! This is great :)
We do have things in common, and this describes cutting very well. It is an illness for sure and it is very hard to get over!
Great description, I can feel the pain
