You can't hurt me if I hurt myself first

This darkness won't leave my mind,It lingers.1

It's runs through to my toes and my fingers,2

I stomp, scream, cuss and shout,3

But silence fills, no sound comes out, 4

I feel nothing other than anger and hate,5

My feelings come through and makes me shake,6

I try to wipe my teary eyes,7

My blank expression is my disguise,8

People think attention is what I seek,9

What I want is to not be a freak,10

I want to be in control of my own life,11

That's when I turned towards the knife,12

The pain slices through and clears my head,13

It makes me want to be alive...no longer dead,14

When I cut I feel protected,15

Because when I'm insulted, I don't feel affected,16

Seeing the red trickle is what I thirst,17

No one can hurt me if I hurt myself first.

    I wish my writer's block was like yours. It's a wonderful work; very emotional and cutting. Seems to speak out loud yet hide all at the same time. If that makes sense. Loved the rhyme scheme and just this poem in general - the best I've read in a while and the last line speaks a truth a lot of people rely on. Magnificent write. : ]

  • If this is true, I am very sorry.
    Overall though, this was an interesting poem. I understood it as an explanation of internal rage. I can tell you put a lot of emotion in this poem, and that you must've worked really hard at it. You have a very good talent in writing.
