    Poem Commentary

    im not looking for a preaching , i stopped, didnt i?

    "A Cycle" OR "Cut"
    The wonderful
    slice
    of blade on flesh
    it rings throughout the room,
    echoing in the ears
    of innocent passersby.
    The emotions,
    the pain,
    the raw fear,
    leaks out,
    seeps out,
    along with the blood.
    You make that first
    cut.
    And you are
    unknowingly hooked.
    A cycle, a vicious, horrible cycle,
    is born.
    You have a bad day.
    You feel horrible,
    lost, confused, and hurt.
    You find release.
    You cut.
    You feel like a monster,
    a horrible person.
    The guilt overrides your mind.
    You feel bad about cutting,
    trying to reach the same calm,
    the same form of inner peace.
    So you cut.
    And so on,
    you cut because you feel bad,
    you feel bad because you cut.
    The cycle 
    it steals you away,
    with no intent of letting you go.
    Break that cycle,
    please. 
    I'm begging you to break it.
    I did.

    That is like everything i've tried to tell people when they said I could stop and I felt I couldn't. It screwed me up and I'm glad I have my boyfriend or else I'd still be doing it today.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
