Due to its non-poetic content, this post has been moved to the Alley.  It can be found there for further comment.

I agree with ya Jeremy.  The piece that was taken out was very real.  It didnt actually talk about cutting wrists ect ect.  It was more of a *mind* thing to me.  So many read poems in so many different ways.  What the writer meant when writing it could be taken as something else by each reader.  
Hmmmmmm what to do what to do ....

I believe it is one thing to "glorify" a subject and another to "deal" with it.  I felt your poem was appropriately dealing with it in showing  the reality, but NEVER once glorified it in anyway.  I really feel like this was a bad judgment call to yank this piece.  I too have seen some very questionable poetry go untouched,  while others were taken off?  Puzzling....hmmmmmmmmm?  I think that you are right concerning the nature of this forum being "mature".  I know that I have many times had to write something differently just so I could post it.  It would be a darker room if it were true to it's name and no censorship remained!  I stand with you on this one, and hope they hear you and NOT shut you out!  It will be a shame if they do! I for one think you have voiced the opinion of many here!
