    Poem Commentary

    does it really need an explanation?

    I Must
    Slice. 
    The wondrous sound
    of blade against skin
    of blood slipping out
    the thin cuts.
    You slash
    faster
    faster
    as much as you may want to
    it is impossible to end
    what you have begun.
    Slowly
    dragging that wretched thing
    across your flesh.
    I'm afraid to stop
    afraid to go too long
    because
    if theres no scars,
    no cuts,
    no blood,
    then wheres the proof?
    Wheres the scar
    showing that it really happened.
    That its not all in my head
    that im not making this up as i go along.
    I need to.
    I must.

    I think it is a very sad thing, suicide. For some, the scars are on the inside... for those - there is no proof. There's nothing I hate more than a bastard that says prove it... You don't have to prove anything to anyone but yourself - Then for others, I've read there is a disorder that leads them to want to cut... not to comment suicide... just to cut, not a disorder that I understand anymore than I understand the behavior that stems from my own disorder - either way it's rough, as I felt pain when I read this poem.

    hm. it is a very sad thing, and a touchy subject, but i think people should be educated on it. thanks for the comment :)

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
