Description
cut my wrists and hope to dieclose my heart and feel no shame
pen to paper cannot lie
stay too close and in the flame
what lies beyond the grave
hands gripping tight around my throat
wounds that cant be healed
though they are mere scars now
memories that murder me inside
memories that are lost or hidden
torture me to see the truth from years ago
what lies in these empty veins
and memories full of fear
and a night that was lost so deep in my mind
how it becomes clear, clear as day
if close i am afraid and alone is a fear
im in the driving seat of the car
dont know where to steer

very intense, the first line registered very subtle in my mind as I was a cutter myself, not proud of it. This poem is like a mirror of pain showing the reader everything you experience and feel, more so mentally than physically or at least that's how i portrayed it.
The rhyme scheme was typical of a free verse, but i notice now that it is a song so the music may have a great affect on the meter and rhythm.
The poem is good well thought out and portrays the emotions of pain well.
A few tips however, try simplify some of the longer lines and reading it aloud and find the areas where the rhythm gets messed up there are a few places. Also, I would suggest using proper capitalization by capitalizing the i's and the first letters of the lines.

yea but it all can be easily fixed with a little work If you want i'd be happy to fix spelling errors or punctuation. But i don't want to like barge in and like tell you this is how a poem should be because there are no like set rules when it comes to poetry so the key is to listen to your audience as well as your heart
