My Shiny Friend

by Joy   Apr 26, 2005


My whole world is falling,
And leaving me behind,
I no longer have anything,
To help me unwind.

It started out with him,
Leaving me feel blue,
He left my heart broken,
And without a clue.

Then I moved on,
But soon lost track of school,
This whole other side of me,
Knew this wasn't cool.

My friends eventually all left,
And that was the end,
I'd have to find myself,
Some other new friend.

I found that friend,
In an unlikely place,
You won't believe where it was,
It resided in a kitchen case.

There was a shiny object,
The only good thing in my life,
This bright shiny toy,
Was my new friend the knife.

It took only took one cut,
To make me feel all new,
Watching the blood pour down,
Was keeping me through.

I only did it once,
But soon craved for more,
My knife started slashing me,
Two, three, then even four.

My wrists were sore with blood,
But my pain was still not gone,
I had to get long sleeved shirts,
The new fashion I had to don.

Everyone looked right through,
They never saw my pain,
Soon my shiny friend will take over,
Leaving me insane.

**This isn't about me...I wrote it in the eyes of my best friend who's a cutter. Look at my poem "The Story of a Girl" for info on it...I'd appreciate votes/comments.**

    This is pretty good although you don't capture the viewpoint of a cutter as strong as one could, i'm sorry about your friend. Be there to support her and encourage her to do more activity with you so she will be distracted, don't tell her not to cut though, honestly it will only hurt her more taking away what helps her so much. If you are there to support her and distract she will quit on her own, not saying it would be soon...but she won't "really" be able to quit untill she wants to...i use to cut so i have an idea on how it really feels plz take what i said to heart i cut for nearly five years and when i did want to stop it took another year to do just that,

    much love tabby
