Crimson Regret

by JAMIE   Jun 10, 2006


Why do I have
All these marks
Of crimson regret
From a dark river
Flowing down my skin

Why did I
Do this to me
To my own body
Now the world
Can view my pain

I`m left only to
Hide these scars
From the world
So certain people
Will never know

The pain is
So unbearable
To see what
I`ve gone through
This past year

Someone once
Said to me that
Scars produce
The deepest wounds
Isn`t that the truth

It is far more
Painful to live
With this regret
Than all the pain
That has caused it...

    My advice is that the rest of the stanza should be more like the first one, specifically the symbolism and descriptive language in the first one. It shouldn't be overly dramatic, but lots of cutting poems lack the specificity of why cutting happens, why the past year was so bad, why things aren't getting better. They should all be things that were thought about at some point, but for some reason cutting poems usually just give the abbreviated version of the story.

    Alot of emotions and alot of sadness in this poem, it doesn't have a flow but i think it doesn't need a flow since it read really quick =) good job 5/5

    I really liked this poem, however when i first read through it i found that it didn't really flow too well, but after re-reading it, I found it easyer to read, maybe it's just me, i'm not sure! But i do think you did a good job, there's alot of emotion! 5/5
