Note: I am not reenforcing suicide, nor am i glorifying it. I am not hurting others, nor am i hurting my self. For it is a healing poem. to vent and to let go of pain. For those who believe its the opposite, then i guess i would say "think and do what you want"
Hope you enjoy the poem for what is, not what you want it to be.
UNTHINKABLE

The darkness that
surrounds, suffocates me
hurts me
I know its wrong
with the blade against my skin
I can't control anything
anymore
It's too hard to live like this
but it's too easy to leave
I don't want to be remembered that
way
I want someone next to me
too hold me close
theres no light
no shining sun
just the gnarled branches
of life
squeezing away all that
I once was
the coward I am stumbles
along the side walk
bruised and battered
the pain doesnt hurt
anymore
its a dull throb
perhaps I need slumber
I cant think with these
scars on my wrists
they don't help
could you take them away?
White againts tanned skin
look into the eyes of the
painting
so bleak, so isolated
so grim
Look into my soul and
see my blackness
see my sins
see my love
see my slow fading happiness
see my true colors
I'm sorry for what i've done
but the scars compell me
to the unthinkable
to let my self cry
the last think i should
do, should show you.

Happy canada day, to all canadians!

If you only understood my pain then maybe you could learn to be my friend. Be there. My crying shoulder. The smiles. And the caring i need to survive.

WOW!! The sincerity in this piece along with the power really hit me. This part,
"I cant think with these
scars on my wrists
they don't help
could you take them away?"
blew me away. It's so simple but the amount of emotion behind those 4 lines was amazing. The whole plead of wanting those scars to go away, those parts of your past to leave, is just, well, amazing!

You rock, Regi. You really do.

I really enjoyed this peice.  It hit me really hard.  I had the same reactions to the lines that anonymousfemale mentioned.  They were so...  I dont know what it was, I just really liked them.  Great job! And I hope that everything turns out okay.  Poetry is always a great way to vent.

Wow, Regi... this poem blew me away.  The power and emotion packed into every line makes this poem absolutely beautiful.  This is definitely a library piece.
"the coward I am stumbles
along the side walk
bruised and battered"
Wowsers... You really poured yourself into this poem.  WONDERFUL work... simply oustanding!

"I cant think with these

I'm glad you feel this way

Ina, I love this one! I almost missed it, it was on page 2. This piece is the best  i have seen from you in a while. It's hard core raw emotion. This part struck me:
"It's too hard to live like this
but it's too easy to leave
I don't want to be remembered that
way
I want someone next to me
too hold me close
theres no light
no shining sun"

Really amazing work. Another for the library.

     Unfiltered, unbroken, unequalled pain.  I love the way you expressed yourself in this poem, if you need to, or just want to talk my email is elvenblood@spellsong.net
     Wonderful poem though, it flowed well except for just at the very end, but still a wonderful piece.

This was pretty edgy stuff here. I liked it because it was raw. Well done here Regi. Hope all turns out well.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily

"white against tanned skin"  This was my favourite line as it is a wonderful visualisation of the scars.  This was a very strong poem and very well written. Keep writing!
