Help Me!!... It taunts again...

It shines
It taunts

I must over come
I can't too weak

It's cold
It's sharp

I will make it
No, I won't

A tear falls
It shines more

Ever so taunting
I can't take it anymore!

She screams
She cries

Slowly and ever so carefully
She picks up the knife...

Back in the drawer it goes
The drawer with the lock
Till the battle continues next time

She escaped with out a mark, not even a scratch
But the war is never over

She will stay strong
Carry on

The knife
No longer her answer to everything

With the knife locked away
Hopefully for good

She cries hersef silently to sleep.

something so difficult for one who doesn't cut to understand, put into words that make it real and do the temptation justice. maybe because i fight it all the time too, i just love this piece so much

Yes,I have faith in you that you will find a better way to deal with things than cutting, I agree the ending was a surprise and I'm proud that you've chosen to stop cutting. Wonderful write, and if ever a craving kicks in, just DP mail me :)

this was good im glad it had a good outcome i usually dont like cutting poems cuz they usually all end up sad or the same thing over and over nicely written

Congratulations on kicking the habit; I know it can be a difficult one to kick, but you have my praise and respect for every moment you continue to resist it. I'm happy this poem didn't end as I guessed it would from the beginning.
