I Tried... - December 17th 2011, 01:49 AM

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.

Poem I wrote for my friend after telling her I've self-harmed. I went to far telling her about something, and I still feel so bad about it.

I've tried so many times to resist
But the temptation continues to persist
Countless times I've pushed the feeling aside
But I keep quiet 'cause I don't want to lose my pride
I know I've made a few mistakes
After each I'm filled with regret and my body shakes
Believe me when I tell you I don't want to be this way
But sometimes it's all I can do to drive the pain away
I'll do what I can to start over again
Because part of me knows this isn't the end
But I need support from someone I trust
That is the only way I can stand and brush off the dust


And somehow now you're everybody's fool. ~Evanescence
You don't know what it's like to be like me. Welcome to my life. ~Simple Plan
I'm not perfect, but I keep trying. ~Hedley
Maybe we'll turn it around, 'cause it's not too late; it's never too late. ~Three Days Grace

Nothing's ever easy, and if it is, you're not trying hard enough.
The best way to get revenge on someone who has hurt you through the years is to smile at them as though you have never cried any tears.

I love this, so much. When I told my friend about self harming, I ended up writing a couple poems to her as well. You should give it to her, it lessens the tension quite a bit. Great work, keep sharing with us <3


I'm burning out like a bright light, I wasn't ready for this. You're adorable as hell, but I'm glancing at your wrist.

Thank you. And it was all I could think of to do. I sent the poem to her earlier and I know she's seen it but she has yet to reply. I just hope it helped her a bit.

Thank you. My friend actually did reply, although things aren't going so great between us right now.

That is my absolute favorite part of the poem!! I love the whole thing though. It has a great rhythm to it. Keep writing because you're great at it. Also, I hope your friend comes around soon.

Writing a poem to your friend to help her understand was a great idea and hopefully your friend will come around, if not, you know I am always here for you.

Thank you so much for all the compliments. Also, my friend has gotten over the shock now and she told me she's not mad at me. Things are a lot better between us now.

This was very well written(:
I agree with 13reasons why, you could be published.
And I'm glad things are getting better with your friend.

Thank you so much. I don't really think I'm good enough to get published though :P
