It's alway there

super old.

The razor blade is my best friend
It's there when I need it
And will always be there for me
It's my best friend

 

 

I can see the way it looks at me
When I am in pain
It's speaking to me
Saying "Come here, and make another mark"

 

All I do is sit back
And color my wrist with red
As the blood trickles down
I try not to cry

 

I am getting rid of my pain
When I use the razor blade
And I know someday it will kill me
So I take it slow

 

When I look at it
I see dry blood on it
Then I start to cry
While asking myself why I put myself through this

 

I know it's not worth it
But it's all I do to get rid of the pain
When I get done I feel no pain
I only feel blood falling

so much for me being your best friend?
and please im better then a razor blade.
but i feel the hurt in this, and i feel the passion
but remember blood is over rated.

' I only feel blood falling '

The last line, for some reason, is what made this poem for me. It's almost like the last line echoes in your head after you're done reading.

I know this feeling exactly. If I ever figure out what I did to turn me away from this sort of behavior, I'll be sure to tell you.

Depression sucks and finding a way out of it is always hard. Cutting is powerful and often successful (own experience) in getting rid of the pain. The scars, though, always remind us of what happened. I like the intensity of this poem. Can feel the emotions that I so often felt.

Great job!!!

blood is a life force, is beautiful and bold, to cut yourself means to knowthat your still alive

I hope you are through it and I would suggest taking up boxing or karate or something else to cut through your pain besides using a razor. That only does more damage than good.
