SIAD

For Self Injury Awareness Day on March 1.

Scars on the

body. Poor child you are

sick, but people judge you.

 

Poor child you have no

way to cope. The only

thing that makes

you feel better is the razor blade.

 

You’re addicted to

the release. You feel cages in,

and the only key out is

  a razor blade.

This is great. I have self harmed before and this poem just captures the feelings you have when doing it.

well said..although I can't fully unstand the concept of self harm..is it good that poems like this highlight it..well written

[OT]

powerful writing! expressive, and so apt for the day approaching, so many cut, and many are judged for it, though they often just want some help or someone to listen, great approach to a controversial topic!! 100

This was so strong Calypso. I used to cut and this was truly a poem I could relate to for once!
I really hated how people judged me for it---- they thought I was some sort of freak and just judged, never helped. So that line meant a lot to me!
So true also, only way to cope. The only way I felt good is with the blade, only way I felt alive.

Such a great write, not slamming cutting but speaking the truth. Thank you so much for writing this!
