MiNd Of A cUtTeR

WHEN PEOPLE ASK WHY I CUT,
I FIND IT HARD TO SAY,
TO ME ITS JUST MY LIFE,
THERE IS NO OTHER WAY,
WHEN PEOPLE ASK WHY I DON'T STOP,
I TELL THEM I DONT KNOW,
FOR MOST OF THE TIMES THAT I DO IT,
THE REASONS NEVER SHOW,
WHEN PEOPLE ASK IF IT HURTS,
I DO IT JUST TO FEAL,
I TELL THEM I ENJOY THE PAIN,
FOR I KNOW THE PAIN IS REAL,
WHEN PEOPLE ASK WHEN I STARTED,
I TELL THEM YEARS AGO,
BUT WHAT IT IS THAT GOT ME STARTED,
I REALLY DO NOT KNOW,
CUTTING IS A WAY OF LIFE,
THATN IS TRAPPED DEEP WITHIN ME,
PEOPLE THINK I'M CRAZY,
BUT ITS THE SANITY THEY CAN'T SEE,
DO NOT JUDGE ME,
FOR WHAT I DO,
FOR IN MY THOUGHTS,
I DON'T JUDGE YOU,
JUST GO AWAY,
AND LEAVE ME HERE,
FOR WHO I AM,
YOU SHOULDN'T FEAR....

I AM ME,
AND DESPISE YOUR THOUGHTS,
THAT IS WHO I'LL ALWAYS BE!

I shall also read this many times.... I currently don't cut.... but the people I know who do explain these exact words to me (not necessarily in your order)...

Very interesting for me to read these type of poems. For I don't understand why people do it. It helps to read these and grasp the frame of mind involved. Yay!

Wow, very powerful write. I am not a cutter, but the way you put it, you are proud of who you are, and that is the best way to be. Great write.

I know how you feel too, great write, i agree with cold about the caps though, a little harsh on the eyes, but it's a part of what i liked about the poem, it wasnt ment to be dainty and soft ~Dawn

i can relate to this piece..its exactly what i feel right now but i doubt i could put it into words the way you do...and i like the caps..gives a sense of yelling

wow, that was amazing! I agreed with every line and you really made good points. My only complaint is the all caps, but other than that it was wonderful!
