Self harming

by Kelwin lost in thought   Jan 30, 2013


I get asked why I cut myself
why I would ever hurt myself
and you want to know
do you really want to know
I do it cause you forced me to
when you raped me
when you call me all those names
is it self harm
when it's you who is hurting me
you the one who says I should go kill myself
you say shit like that
and you dare ask why I cut
you judge me cause of my arms
I am not hurting myself
it's you who are doing it
you are cutting me
not me
so next time you ask why I cut
reamber it is you
all I am is the temple
of your sin
so that's why I do what I do

    It does sounds a bit like my recent one, "self-harm",
    except yours is way too strong to compare to mine.

    But yes, so far, I'm enjoying all your writing, Kelwin! :)

    This is.... strong. Really strong.
    You take a different outlook on your scars here. They don't seem to be a "scarlet letter" anymore to you.
    They still stand out, yes, but they mark something different.
    They don't symbolize the monster you thought you were, it symbolizes the monsters the people are who hurt you.
    It's a turn around poem... and it's very good.

    Repeating the in-your-face comments are the best.
    "I get asked why I cut myself"; "and you dare ask why I cut".
    Strong. Good.
