I live the life of a cutter

Same poem just with slight edit in the layout. ~~Thanks to nikki for bringing it to my attention~~

I live the life of a cutter
surviving day to day
using tiny cuts
to take the pain a way

i live the life of a cutter
the scars they cover my arms
i am one of the many
who chooses to turn to self harm

i live the life of a cutter
i will always appear strong
no matter what may happen
of my pain I'll never let on

i live the life of a cutter
the tears that come and go
the pain that always stays
my self-esteem that remains low

i live the life of a cutter
the pain and tears and hate
no matter how happy i am
I'll always be doomed by fate

i live the life of a cutter
forever in shadows i hide
not dead but not really living
my time I'm trying to bide

i live the life of a cutter
doomed to forever bleed
no matter how hard i try
i can not feed the need

i live the life of a cutter
no power or will to change
as i write theses words
blood drips upon the page

    Wow, what a great ending, fantastic pace, strong emotional poem.
    It is a great poem that shows the thought process and point of view of a cutter. It shows that cutters aren't just attention seekers but have real low self esteem and pain. There a many cutters on this site and I am sure that they will all relate to this and love this poem.
    Great Job, you have no fear when writing poems to step out of a comfort zone and write what is in your heart.
    For that I will also add you to my favourite authors list.

    Its a good poem. But it makes me sad. I almost want to cry. Self harm is never the answer nor is there an answer to the pain. I hope in time your life gets better and the cuts become nothing more than scars. Ones that you can look at and know you have moved on. That you have found a better path. And your safe with who you are.

    Now THAT is pain. Despite what you've gone through, I can see you've found another release. Still, awsome work.
