A Cutter's Price Tag

by Once an Angel   Nov 15, 2005


Once when I fell, you gave me you hand
Giving me reason to once again stand
Now I am without you, fallen on the ground
knowing that by you, I won't be found.

I am cold and can't be warm
I am broken, forever torn
I am lost, and so afraid
I am nothing without your aid

Yet it was me who drove you away
and that is why you won't ever stay
here by me in the late hours of the night
when I am struggling to fight
the powerful urge to use my knife
and finally go and finish my life

I am cold and can't be warm
I am broken, forever torn
I am lost, and so afraid
I am nothing without your aid

I let my bloody black tears freely flow
as I prepare to finally let go
I will make my wrist be the one to pay
the debt for driving you so far away.

Yeah, I was a cutter and I still struggle with it even now. Cutting took everything from me that mattered in my life, and almost took my life itself on several occasions. People, it is not worth it to cut. People love you and they care, and the scars of cutting will never leave you. I know I have countless scars and they stand as a reminder of my mistakes every waking moment of my life. Please don't make my mistake and don't use the knife.

    I understand how you feel but i wish i was as strong as you i mean i am still a cutter and i don't know if i will ever be able to stop. i mean i did lose almost every one. my dad don't want to be with me my mom was never there and my two sisters don't want me to be around them because of they don't want me to see their kids.

    so i understand how just one little thng can run your life for you. it cause so much pain but not in the way i wanted it to. i wanted to know that i was a live but it cause every one that i loved around me leave me it hurt.

    You know what? You're a real insperation. To write about your past like this. And let everyone out there know that you can get through it, Is a really beautiful thing. I'm really gald I have read your poems, Weird as it might sound. But they mean alot to me. Some of them just pour out feelings that I can't express. So well done. You're an amazing writer. Don't ever stop! 5/5

    It is great therapy for others to know that there is away out of life situations.

    Continue to use your ecperiences, it does help othes and yourself to talk about things. You may never know who you turned around after reading your life out loud...
