Self Harm Thoughts

IHate_ItHere2

I don’t know if you can see me

But if you can just know that I’m fighting 

I just want to be set free

The pain I want to inflict on myself is exciting 

 

It’s making my skin hot and sweaty just thinking about it

It makes me ache to feel the blade on my skin

Maybe I should feed into it make a little slit

But my mind keeps telling me not to give in 

 

But the intrusive thoughts are too strong 

I give in anyway and commit to the blade 

I know it’s so wrong but in these lines I feel like I belong

Looking at my arms as if the lines were being displayed 

 

It makes me go numb as I lay there like I’m going insane 

But it’s better than feeling pain 

The world feels like it slows

So in a deep sleep I go

  • L. B. Mek

    we seek pain, as gratification
    as escape
    because we've only known comfort
    those in actual, pain
    are breathless
    have no time, to dwell and muse
    they're too busy, striving to survive...
    but
    our demons, are ours
    for a reason
    no one! can judge You
    or belittle your suffering
    if you're dogpaddling a life of strife
    and to others it looks like
    you're taking a gentle morning swim
    its not your fault, how reality
    can be perceived so differently
    from one person's, look
    to another's, glance...
    all we, who ashamedly
    try
    to offer some feebly, threadbare
    help and comfort
    ask
    of you
    is that You, Try
    to consider, how many others
    feel
    like you
    and we Hope, in realising
    you're not alone, you also
    find Scope, to imagine
    like those others you too, may
    find your avenue for healing..
    just
    please, try to empathise
    how your words may be read
    by someone
    in a much more darker space
    than you are
    and so, if you can
    try to warn people of the potentially
    harmful content, your work
    may contain
    give them a chance
    to not be blindsided by ill-fate
    like You were..
    I laud your bravery
    I champion your Fight
    and I wish you Peace..
    stay strong, dear Poet
    'Fight, fight
    Rage, rage
    against the dying of the light.
    Do not go gentle into that good night'
    from Dylan Thomas' timeless poem:
