They say that time will heal wounds, but who knows if that's true, I've waited time and time again but still I'm feeling blue. This gloom remains above my head with rainstorms pouring down, And I can't think of anything to help me fix my frown. I haven't asked my friends for help, I haven't asked a soul, 'Cause I don't want to bother them or drag them in this hole. It's hard to tell if I exist or if my life is real, The only way to know for sure is with this sharp cold steel. I know that this is not the way, but oh well I don't care, Just one more slice is all I need then no more cuts I swear...

Hi hershorn
You certainly have a flair for rhyme and rhythm - I trust the yen to slash your wrists is simply poetic license, and not an indication of your real intentions...
A fine write...

To cut is to feel pain..Pain to take away the deeper pain that is within.
Hey Fellsman, thanks for the kind words. I am an aspiring writer (as I would imagine most of us on here are) and normally I try to write sharp witty poems, but that day I was just really down in the dumps.
Hey Odette, I agree, pain on the outside would certainly feel better than pain on the inside as that type of pain most often never heals. I find it odd that being physically harmed is not nearly as difficult as being emotionally harmed.
