Self - Injury.

[Kendall]

Her emotion masked with a smile
Her pain overcome with a blade
It's time to stop feeling for a while
While I carve at the life that I hate
No longer love, but only anger
No longer happiness, but only pain
My body filled with error must cry
And my heart in my hand shall suffer
It's hard to remeber I am human
When all I can go by is my name
The emotions inside me stand still in my veins
My perfect make up to cover what I have lost
And my clothes to cover what I have gained
Without time we would be lost
Without time we wouldn't be
Without you I wouldn't suffer
Without me, I wouldn't bleed.


..meh.

wow! i have a friend who used to cut - had never heard of this practice before her.
i think you put this into words well. "The emotions inside me stand still in my veins" is really apt.
if it's autobiographical, i wish you the best, dealing with all this...

[Koa]

oh...? at first reading i didnt realise it was about that...

of course i realised the main feelings, which i understand...i think they are so beautifully and effectively put in the poem... I really like the way it's expressed.

[Kendall]

Hey, thank you both a lot. Yeah, that's what it's about ; Self Injury. Thanks for the support, etc.

[Suetang]

I can only hope that this wasn't written from personal experience. Your words painted a very sad story. I wish for you much love and happiness.

Take care

Sue

Very apt...and your timing is creepily impeccable, that's all I'm gonna say....heh... anyway, go you. Brave to post it.

[Kendall]

Hey, thanks to everyone who replied. I have a bunch of poems on this kind of thing, but this is the most recent and I think I like it the best so far.
Thank you for your support, etc. I hope you enjoyed my poem as much as I have enjoyed others.

Very expressive Kendall, amuse really pointed out the best line, "the emotions inside me stand still in my veins".

[Kendall]

Thankyoo.

[simon]

It is a reminder of how complicated the world is, and that some things are not right or wrong and not everything has a answer, I think you have described something here that is very hard to express so that others can understand.

[Kendall]

Thanks Simon, that's really encouraging. I didn't realise I did that, maybe that's how you see it ; which is awesome. I don't know how I would analyse that poem, maybe because it's mine. I'm not too sure. But thank you for the comments.

[Helga]

It is great Kendall, I know this feeling to well myself. I would love it if you would put more of your poems here!

It's a strange feeling you discribe and hard to explain but you do it very well...

[Koa]

I f***ing like the last few lines.


(and this is not swearing, it's expressing it the way i need to say it)


Oh, and I wish I could write like that.

[Kendall]

To Helga and Koa, thanks both for the replies, I appreciate them.
