I wrote this poem late last year, and it may sound a little unusual, 'cuz I wrote it of a bad habit I have.. which I have been trying to break for years now, and still failed.. of tearing my fingers to shreds..


Again And Still

I can feel you on my skin,
Tearing at emotions,
Ridding me of everything,
But you and me and it.
Mashed and torn and twisted tears,
Burn and scar my fingertips.
Self-hatred hiccuped,
Mutilated cryptic message.
Weak willed mind,
And you burn me,
Again and again.
Again.
When the blood runs down my hand,
I can feel you on my skin,
And I choke on all the failures,
Again and still.

oh, painful, very descriptive!

"Come...dance with me, into my world of words."

This is more than just a poem. It is the cry for help. If you have no one to listen keep writing out your feelings. As long as your on the keyboard you can't hurt yourself.
