Description
I grab a graterthe tips of my fingers
are nearly all gone
I take the knife
the largest one around
my flesh is torn
I punch this window
glass embedded
I do not remove
I bite my tongue
my mouth fills with blood
don't flinch - don't move
I find some velcro
rub my skin raw
citrus on flesh
I kick my shins
until i collapse
my bruises i press
I'm bleeding

i feel like last line ; 'i'm bleeding'
is actually removed from the self destruction you've described above,
as in, not caused by it. to me it seems you, in yourself,
were bleeding before these actions manifested. does this seem a true interpretation to you?
it feels (to me) as though you had to do all of these things
to in some way make it ok
for you to say you are broken, that you are bleeding.
i know this well.

thanks for your favourites and comments, but im afraid this piece is so old i cannot comment on it, its written of a time gone by, an emotion that was felt, but life has progressed so far since then so the reasons i wrote that poem and the emotions behind it have been lost. i think most of the poem was about the anger and violent hatred for myself, and the last line was more of a remark when i calmed down and looked at myself, not my physical self but my situation, and what it all boiled down to. it was an expression of the disappointment and sadness i felt.

so raw. something ive felt before. im sure many people can identify with this. and i like that delayed ending. the obviousness of it makes it more effective.

I hate it when people say, ooh, it's so beautiful and dark. It's a great poem, expressing massive amounts of pain and suffering. Don't let them tell you what to do, just keep all the compliments and positive feeback inside, don't let others deride you, nor yourself, as I do.

Horribly macabre yet compelling - another brilliant piece. Are you okay? This emotion has to spring from somewhere...

i understand. and i like how you've written this. and i like the way you've captured it. but it's not a subject i like. therefore. i'll say;
i appreciate this piece for what it is, good poetry.

I like it. Sometimes the emotion can speak for itself, and this is definitley that way.

Hmm..... I hate to say it, but I don't like this one. Most of your poems have a beautiful sort of gloomy elegance, but I think this one doesn't quite make it.
I think I see the effect you're trying to make, but it all seems a bit detached. It's like there's pain and anger of the subject, but not the passion to go with it, and I think that makes it lose a lot of its power.

very.... discriptive, please dont do these things!
one question....
I bite my tongue
my mouth fills with blood
don't flinch - don't move
does that mean that it doesnt hurt anymore?.... no feeling?...

"I bite my tongue

I think this was really well done - really graphic and disturbing but the emotion behind it is so sad.
And yeah, I agree with Caitlin ... it's a bit scary to read ... much like alot of the poetry on DA
