The Hole Within
They say I’m always negative
And thinking about death
Why don’t they stop talking
And help me get out of this mess?
I have so many feelings
Inside they’re all compressed
And cutting myself helps
When I’m feeling depressed
And it’s not like they hurt a lot
I’m just cutting my skin
The ones that hurt the most
Are the ones I have within
So many people judge me
Cuz they don’t know what’s up
But for now I’m just here hoping
One day I won’t wake up

Hello Sad Poet,
Thank you for inviting me to read your latest poem. In this poem, you have explained self-harm in a way that even an old lady like myself can understand. My generation had its own methods of dealing with internal pain and agony. The emotions have not changed, but the ways to express them have. If only I had learned to write when I was young, my life would have been so much more meaningful.
What tremendous talent you possess. You speak for so many others when you write your poetry. Have you ever submitted your poetry for publication?
It is very good. Although I myself find looking at stuff like this just makes me feel sad for people that have that probelm.. If you ever do need to talk I’m all “eyes”. I hope you are ok!!!
:) You’re welcome… I’d like to read something HAPPY next time though :)
thas a real good poem. you dont really cut tho do you? if so please dont
i wrote this poem a while ago…i’m doin pretty good…i havn’t cut in like a couple months and i’m tryin to keep it that way but i’v been feeling really down lately.
Sad Poet, when you are really feeling low, try meditation.
You are such a fine poet and an intelligent human being.
No matter what the pain, it is only an emotion. When you meditate, it will give you self control. The vast expanse of the mind will open up to you like an aircraft in flight and you will control its course like a pilot.
that is a great poem!!! but try something else to deal with your problems. talk to someone or do something that relaxes you. ive been down the road before. but good poem.
do you feel like you tuck it all away so you dont have to deal with the things that pain you? and then the only thing left is numb?
i hear ya
like the poem. A lot of my poems are dark too. I never have cut…I like getting tattoos if i had the doe I’d be covered. It always feels so good. even though people say writing is a good release…my poems don’t make me feel better…I just have to get it out. You said you wrote that a while back…whenever I look at poems from my past in takes me back to that horrible place. And then I question am I worse or better than when I wrote this? anyways hope to read more of your stuff.
thanks for replying everyone.

writing always makes me feel better but like you said it also takes me back to that time. i’m glad you liked it.
i like tattoos also. i only have one, but i want more. i also have two piercings. this guy i know owns two shops and my bro-in-law pierces. it’s kinda cool cuz i got my tattoo for little money and my piercings for free.
