life help: The tears of a blood river.

Winter Rose

The tears of a blood river.

Scarlet pools of ink light my path through a charred forest. The sticky rivers lead the way through the dark and sing to me promises of a better life. My knowlege of this maze seems to only grow less over time, and with each step I become more overwhelmed by its thickets. Soon the uncertainty is more than I can take. Finally, as I drown in confusion, my last breath is smothered by only the strong scent of blood.

Another poem. Thought it was dark… hope you guys like it though!

It’s quite dark, but I enjoyed the vivid imagery. Nice :)

My poetry seems pointless without someone to see it… I don’t see any use.

That’s very nice.
I always like any kind of arts that have anything to do with river or drowning.

People on here see it.
Sometimes help.com is quite slow.

Just wait, I’m sure more people will read it.

Hi Cassie. Very dark poem there. But keep it up. I’d rather you pick up a pen then something a bit more sharp. Good for the mind too. Stay good. And pretty. =8^}

I didnt realise it was about self mutilation, paints a very different picture for me about the confusion of life that surrounds and confines until we are forced into the arms of death. Still very good.

To cut with words rather then a knife is the greater path. Expels pain and death more easily, others can understand and relate and you wont be stuffed with meds for having emotions other than happy.

Are you addicted to cutting? It is a very addictive thing to do. Releases things so easily. Make the outside match the inside. Kissed by a blade. I understand why most people do it, what is your reason if I may ask?

It’s something I can keep to myself. My own secret escape. The rush of acomplishment as the blood ooses from the cut.

Interesting. I understand where you are coming from. I don’t think that is justification, but that is my opinion, and in the grand scheme of things, what does my opinion matter? You are still a good person and I will not judge you by your actions.
