Life can give,
Life can take,
Life can Shake,
Life can Break,
Life can fake,
Life can ache,
Life can make,
Life will awake,
Life is like a snake,
But life can also be a heartbreak.
Life is as delicate as a snowflake,
But what you see, is what is at stake.
Your life is what is at stake.
Don't cut,
Don't give me, "but...",
Every time you cut, I have a pain in my Gut,
I feel your pain,
I feel your hurt,
I see your smile,
I see your sorrow,
I hear your cries,
I hear your screams.
Your reasons are not valid.
Just stop it...

Honest and strong I liked it well done S
thank you, Andrew.
WELCOME FRIEND ~ Thanks for your first Poem very challenging. Love the shape almost like a CUT ? I have never self-harmed but some of my Students have (they are all 17+) and members of my extended Family. It is a great "cri de coeur" and needs a lot of TLC & understanding. Your first verse reminds us of the Preciousness of the Gift of Life but also its Fragility ! V 2. Is a warning ~ not to cut ~ and the effect it has on ones friends. Also the importance of support. Thanks for caring & sharing. Please check my site ~ Thanks ~ Yours BRIAN (35). MPS works by reading and commenting on each other POETRY ~ OK

Very strong write. I just do not understand why anybody self harms.
When I was in my teens and twenties in the 1960s and 70s I saw and heard of nothing like it.
Welcome to MPS.
Thanks a ton 🙂

Strong rhythm and the rhyme scheme was interesting. Great first write Shi. ^^
