today
it's been
-since the 16th
of last month-
15 days
since i stopped cutting
15 days
without hurting myself
[physically]
15 days
out of 6 months
5 and a half months left
i can do this
i have to do this
even if Angie can't
i need to do this
to make my future
How can i help others
if i can't control myself
and my actions?
how can i help others
if i can't help myself?
and these question flows through my head
and i think too much
and i think too little
or not at all
i get numb
disasociated
and i cut
and i have to stay away from that point
i have to stay away

Wow
This was really good i liked how you wrote it it had lots of emotion into the piece even if its not all the way finished. Trying to stop is hard even for me so I feel you there. I have went a long time not cutting myself and i thought it would be the end but I still have bumps I have to face sometime I win my own battle sometimes I loss. Nice write keep up the good work love to read it if you finish it. Your line "i have to do this even if Angie can't
i need to do this to make my future How can i help others
if i can't control myself and my actions?" Wow thats what I am going through right now I love someone, He cuts and when i know he does thats when i feel the need to do so. I need to move on even though I worry about him, and afraid he will take his life and maybe then i would take mine but I think it would be best for me to stop.
sincerely,
Chandra .C.

This , the stanza's are perfect, the emotion shines through in every line I'm telling you man, don't tell me I can write great, your material is far beyond. I love the begining, I like how how it starts at

well...... I know someone very close who is also a cutter, didn't know you all go through so much, thanks for the insight, loved your poem, WOKE ME UP, very true and real to my heart. Hope to learn more from the end of your poem, your reality. She is my daughter.

YAYYYY that good thing extreamly

hey dirty and broken
a good honest and straigthfoward poem, not melodramtic but more like a plea to yourself, it looks easy to write a direct poem like this but then so few do. (that should)
