Needle in my gum
Paul Bell said:
Strange how a needle can save you or kill you.
I self harm watching my football team, wondering why I put myself through the pain.

I personally hate needles but many perforate themselves for decoration, health, to get a high, to feel the pain and know they are still alive, self punishment. A poem that hurts. Well written

The wrong therapist
Friendship said:
Well written. Your poem explores themes of emotional pain, familial relationships, and the impact of another person\'s actions on mental health. The poet grapples with feelings of shame and emptiness, ultimately pointing to a toxic relationship with a person named Cooper, who is revealed to be the son of her therapist. Yet expresses feelings of frustration, isolation, and a search for understanding about her mental health. The poet seeks to understand her feelings and possibly confront the underlying issues related to her depression, specifically in relation to Cooper and the impact he has on her life. The question posed at the end highlights her desire for acknowledgment and understanding of her suffering.

Sometimes you need to amputate the problem, or at least cut it below the knees.
As for the father, well.

It can be quite confusing and this poem states it so. Well written it offers the tools to overcome the problem by confronting the issue and in overcoming it the depression will soon abate. Very nicely written.

The darkness in you shines in me

Welcome to MPS. This is a frightening warning as a poem when one recognizes that one is being held back and destroyed by another then one must make a decision of staying or leaving. Well written.
