Snap...Snap

SNAP, SNAP
At the elastic band
They say it will help
But it's the fact that i need it that i cant stand

I went 3 months
Till finally i fell
Cuts here and there
I didn't think anyone could tell

Little did i know
It wasn't very hard to see
But i only did a few on my wrists
Otherwise people would be able to notice easily

Mother told me she knew
Simply because of the way i was
She sat me down and told me to spill
But still she doesn't know the real cause

See I'm too ashamed
I still cant believe what i do
But i know i need to stop SNAP SNAP!!
Mother says it will help so i need to...

    Ah Yes. The elastic band. Fight the urge to succumb. A snap on the wrist brings you back to sanity. Yet why would it? If you crave pain and find comfort in it. This snap snap technique holds no ability to keep you from harming yourself. It only promotes it. Little pain shots here and there. What happens when it becomes too little. One day you might crave more of the ache. So you pick up a knife or a razor blade. You might start with a slice. Then you'll say this isn't enough. You'll continue on to two or three cuts. What happens when you hit a vein or go to deep? You sit there in awe and shock. Your mind slows down its thought process. All thats left is a blank piece of paper for your brain. Blood left to dissolve into the ground or carpet or floor. Pain cannot be given to a cutter. It's not healthy and doesn't solve the problem at hand. A cutter needs assurance of their worth. They need respect from others but more importantly for themselves. In all likelihood doctors proclaim to know the cure. But the only cure for cutters is total reverence and tranquility. Else a cutter who has been devoid will not avoid the craving any longer. Temptations are all around us. They surround us with their proximity's. To completely rid ones self of the craving. You must first have a mindset of wanting to. This was intense. And spoke many volumes about cutters. Great write.
    5/5

    I like this. I felt like it was very raw and true. You didn't use a bunch of fancy words and imagery, you just stuck to the truth. Poems like that display your best. Nice work. Nik

    Again I feel that the honesty helps me to understand this issue. all that I have read has made me think of the addictions, and habits I have attempted to overcome. I have not known of a problem going away by ignoring it .This poem is well written.
