Well, I am sort of new to this site...and I have really been reading peoples' poetry and trying to get the feel of the members on this site...I have read a lot of poetry about cutting...It truly gets to me to know that someone who can have such a beautiful mind to write such amazing poetry is out there somewhere, suffering, cutting. I just wanted to start a discussion about cutting for the members who do, maybe you guys can get some sort of comfort or fresh breath of air from this, or at least I'm hoping....And of course, people who do not cut can/should participate, I myself am not a cutter. Hopefully, someone can reach to someone else and give a helping hand....

Thank You

It seems that highly intelligent, emotional, artistic people seem to be very sensitive to depression.. it's strange, but that's life.

artistic people seem to be very sensitive to depression

^^^^^^

That Is Soooo True....I Think Poets Go Through So Much Hurt And Pain Because They Need Something To Write About And Pain Seems To Be 1 Of The Main Key Inspirations That Inspire Some Of The Best Writes......And I Believe That Any And Everyone With Talent Goes Through Something Tragicaly Hurtful At Some Point In Time Throughout Their Life Probably More Than Someone Without Talent

Expressionism is a form of art in which emotions are released.

artictic people seem very sensitive or despressed

i personally think it's just this sites age group that are depressed, after all millions of famous poems are not about cutting or saddness, the stuff posted here is nothing like the poetry in any books all written by an older populace

Depression shared with others through poetry is great. I have had some people from another forum say thanks. Your poetry expressed how I felt. I just didn't have the words to describe it. Isn' that why people buy poetry?
