Cuts herself with razor blades
to make up for mistakes made
Have enough of those in spades
The truth bleeds red
The anger and suffering now can be seen
An anguished soul feels quite clean
Don't judge if you haven't been
You don't know what's in her head
Now the pain is replaced by tears
You'd think the pain would really sear
Not when it's self-intentional dear
Instead of calling me, she bled

With you; your friend has a voice. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much, very appreciated!
Good write Christina S ww
Thanks ww, much appreciated!
So many people do not seek friends who can help them.
No and for so many reasons we do not know. Thanks for the read, Andy!
It makes me shudder this. I've heard a couple of stores about it. On a lighter note: I wish people would only use razor blades for shaving! Some seem to WANT to self-harm - is that a cry for help in itself?
I think for some people it is a cry for help and for others they are just hurting. I don't know. Thanks for your reply, Orchi!
Thanks for sharing CHRIS ~ a very poignant poem for SUNDAY ~ You know as well as I do that "LIFE IS IN THE BLOOD" and those who SELF HARM are making a simple statement "My Life is worthless" Several of our students "self-harm" and we need to understand WHY ? to enable us to counsel them. It is cathartic and that is why they do it ! The loss of blood is generally minimal (unless it is attempted suicide and not just a "Cri de Coeur" but as a hygienist I am more concerned about infection ~ as you must be ! We must not be shocked or condemnatory but supportive and provide not only TCP (trichlorophenol) but also TLC ~ Amen ! Thanks for caring & sharing ! Once a NURSE always a NURSE ~ Yours BRIAN ~ please check SUMMER HOLIDAYS ~ BRIAN
I find it hard to judge as to why people do it, although I'm sure they do feel worthless for many reasons. I feel badly for those that do it. I appreciate your input on the subject! Yes, these folks needs TLC. Yours~Christina
Wow such a powerful write! We all know somebody who suffers like this
Yes, unfortunately there are too many. Thanks for the reply!!
