Description The Cuts

Rushing through my veins
I feel it,
The pain of my past
Present and future
When will it stop?

It burns the flesh
There is a lingering smell of death
Searing pain
Throughout my body
I scream but nothing comes out

How can I make this pain go away?
Cut…Yes Cut.
Cut this agony away
Let it drain
Cut and let it drain from my body and soul

A blade, a blade
Comes down…
There, its finished
Its task is complete
A red line faintly reveals itself

Dripping and streaming it comes
Down my arm
The pain, suffering,
Its all departing from my soul
Its so wonderful

Its almost complete
Butterflies are in my stomach
The world is spinning
Such a rush
What a high

Its all over now
My body and mind are now at peace
No more pain. No more hurt.
I feel totally nothing…
And I know why,

Its because I died

The poem works.

Don't tell me you are another girl who cuts herself.
I can't deal with it. I know too many. Why?

My gut feel is that girls cut themselves as a way of expressing emotional pain. Won't anyone listen to you if you express yourself in words normally?

I notice that it's mostly girls who cut themselves.
Since cutting involves slitting gthe flesh and the spilling of blood, in the case of girls I feel this is symbolic of
menstruation (blood coming from a slit in the flesh). I feel party that deep down or symbolically the girl is saying hey look at me, listen to me, I'm not a girl anymore, I'm a woman.
