Untitled: a poem about self-harm - April 22nd 2021, 07:07 PM

This thread has been labeled as triggering, particularly on the subject of self harm, by the original poster or by a Moderator. The contents of this thread might therefore not be suitable for certain sensitive users. Please take this into consideration before continuing to read.

**This is cross-posted from my blog. I hope that's okay; I really wanted to share it here.**

Take care

Use the utmost precision

A steel kiss, so soft and sweet

Look; it blossoms

A trail of red in its wake

Carving a path, a promise

To less anxiety, less sadness

Deliver me, I cry

And the blade listens

What's one more scar, added to a thousand?

A walking, broken mess

But for one instant, I touched God

This is a really great poem, and that final line really is really powerful. I love how it's almost calming to read despite what it's about too. Thank you for sharing.

It's serene despite it's graphic description.

It certainly is ok to share any creative work you want on here.

The style and word choice here is amazing!
