To The Cutters

by Kayla   May 24, 2005


The feeling that the blade brings you
In the beginning is a rush
Yet after the first few slits
The cries are no longer hushed.
The blood will flow out of your pale skin
Like you never thought it could
And then the pain gets stronger
Than you didn’t think it would
Even though it kind of hurts
The first few seconds are such a relief
Yet soon the scars appear
And all you will be left with is grief.
You hate yourself for what you’ve done
Yet now there is no turning back
Before you know it you’ll be addicted
And all you will see is painful cracks
The cracks are in your skin
The cracks are in your heart
The cracks rush over your body
And that is only the start
Before you know it
You will wish that you were gone
In the beginning you never thought this would be
Yet I have told you all along
This is to the cutters
That think that it’s ok
Do you ever stop to look at yourself
Because today might be you last day

*I wrote this to express cutting... It is for the cutter and even the one that never even thought about it... I hope you enjoy it

    I'm guessing this line: 'And that is only the start' was added to rhyme with 'heart' but I don't think that there needs to be a rhyme in this place, because the lines stand up strong enough on their own.
    I think that you really got right into it with this one - what you write is very true and doesn't sound overly cliched at all, which is something that happens to many other cutting poems.

    Wow... That was a very good poem... It was very original and I loved the message... It was full of emotion and it was beautiful! I even thought it was kind of inspirational... I think that anyone thinking of cutting or who currently cuts now, should read this poem and maybe they will think twice before continuing... because I know that a lot of people that cut want to die very badly, but at the same time, they are very scared of death, yet they continue mutilating themselves and causing more damage than before... Anyway... I really liked it, it was a very good poem! Keep up the wonderful work!
