Self Injury Poems

by Melisa Steele

"Help…"

I have cried for help for months, maybe even years,
Dreaming of the day when I could wipe away the tears

Feeling dazed lost and confused,
Left here wandering my soul empty and abused

Treading in another world but I don’t know where,
Perhaps waiting for the Grimm Reaper to pay him his fare?

Sensing feelings I can’t explain with dark shadows lurking in the night,
Desperately searching for hope, is there any light?

Looking to make my escape but I don’t know how,
I don’t know what’s wrong, what do I do now?

I wish somebody would help me but they can’t hear my call,
Maybe I’m just destined to fall victim after all

It’s eating me from the inside, feeding on the sorrow,
Being prey to an emptiness that will bring no tomorrow

Searching for an answer, spiraling out of control,
Waiting to defeat the sadness that has taken on its toll

Where is the joy I used to know,
The happiness, the pride, where did it all go?

I want out of here! But I’m feeling really weak,
The possibilities of being saved are looking pretty meek

The more I seem to struggle the chains begin to bind,
It’s so disappointing that my freedom I may never find

Wanting a window with the sunlight shining through,
Peering out the glass to a panoramic view

Waiting for that warm breeze to gently kiss my face,
I hope I can gather the courage to finally leave this place.

Self harm cutting.
by: Katie

Hello,

I'm Katie I'm a cutter. And i have been cutting for about 5 years now and it's real hard to stop.
I want help. I need help.

why ?
by: Lee

My world is in bits and has been for years now and thats where the self-harming entered my life. I think it was already there within me and just waiting for a reason to come out. I have had people say to me after seeing the scars on my arms it must be some attention thing, but i am alone when i do it and then i don't go shouting from the rooftops about it. I have noticed that people treat me different after seeing the scars. I dont judge them so why judge me? its the way of the world i guess, with ignorance thrown in there too! My pain is in my head which people dont see..

Idk
by: Anonymous

The only thing I can think of wen I get upset is that nobody cares even though I somebody out there has to care. When I cut it makes me feel free but yet I'm still facing all of these problems I know I shouldn't cut myself but it's my only coping skill that will make me feel better my doctor said I belong in a hospital but I told her I'm not crazy and I don't belong in a hospital. My worst nightmares are beginning to look real
