The metal hits me like a ton of bricks
But also sets me free
It oozes out the feelings
I would never be able to see
My head goes down to look
At what I have just done
The shame comes upon me
And I see what has begun
A scar for each feeling
Waiting to be healed
An open sore that burns
Its what I keep concealed
Each cuts a line of writing
That brings out what I feel
Every word inviting
Another layer off I peel
My words a way of dealing
With what I think each day
Each line revealing
The things I cannot say.

Words come so easy
when your world falls apart.
It can be creepy
how depression heals your heart.
Hope that helps some...

They All Sleep. We Just Dream.
but i gave my razors to my boyfriend so i COULDNT. he got smart and took my saftey pins, paperclips, machanical pencils.. *sighs* oi the bastard.
Sadly I dont think it missed the pitfalls of cliche', i think it landed right in the pile along with millions of other poems, including mine.
takes a brave soul to write about cutting.
(not really, but thats ok)
The first line, the metal hitting you like a ton of bricks. 1) metal and bricks dont relate very well, and 2) its such an overused saying o.O
"But also sets me free
It oozes out the feelings
I would never be able to see"
That is perfect. Because of that i know you HAVE cut. And im sorry... The fact it sets you free is amazing, isnt it? for a few moments you just dont give a shit.. then reality hits. Bites pretty bad... I like the word ooze. its perfect. cause you dont gush blood or anything, it oozes, and the emotions ooze. and dream sludge oozes over your skin.. ooze is much fun. and the other line i enjoyed because it shows truth in that. which lets me know this is a personal piece.
"My head goes down to look
At what I have just done
The shame comes upon me
And I see what has begun"
I dont like that part. Its too wordy. perhaps it is needed, but the line "at what i have just done" seems too bland. Needs to have some spice added somehow. But the line about shame, I love that. Its perfect. Because it shows the contrast from feeling free, to suddenly adding MORE stress through shame. horrible addiction. You shouldnt cut...
The rest of it I found rather nice, I loved the lines and didnt find many flaws, however, this is my favorite line of the entire piece
"Each cut's a line of writing"
You have so much emotion, don't limit yourself to a rhyme scheme. I think this topic, cutting, isnt meant to be with held. Isnt meant to be bound within organized writing....
and thats my comment for you. hope you enjoyed this session of ripithness with brita.
