I Cut My Wrists

Author: Unknown

I cut my wrists,
To show who I am,
If you don't like it,
I don't give a damn!!
I cut my wrists,
But not with pride,
You should have told me the truth,
But instead you lied.
I cut my wrists,
To me it feels good,
I wish someone understood,
I wish my best friends would.
I cut my wrists,
Whether I'm mad or depressed,
I do it not to please me,
I just live with to much stress.
I cut my wrists,
And though when I'm done,
I do not feel good inside,
I sometimes wish...
I'de cut deep enough to die!!

About this poem:

I don't do this anymore, but when i did it was a very depressing part of my life. People think about it all the time they just dont act on it. This is what i felt like when i was doing it... My life is differant now, i may not be the happiest person out there but i know that is not the way to handle stress, I have 2 wonderfull daughters to look out for now, and i want to be here for them while they grow up...

Pink said it well enough. Glad you have other more constructive ways to deal with the stress...like kids who love and need you!

Hi, Heavenly24,
No one can truly comprehend another's pain; but, a shout to understanding, your poem is a powerful expression of despair. It is great to have it in the past! Thank you for sharing.

Wow! This is totally real and raw. If you ever feel that way again, just write about it instead. Life can be hard, but death will come to us all eventually. No need to rush to it.

very emotional poem, thanks for sharing....cutting or slashing, feels good is wat my daughter use to say, the only way she could feel, she no longer does it..thank gawd, but it was a stage in her life where she released her pain by slashing, only way she felt good, i never dont totally understand it all but 2day she is now a healthy, happy youth and has alot of good stuff going in her life, and so do you, ur babes....they are very beautiful and very fortunate to have a mother like you....
