Razor blades
written by gothicbob696910:40 PM 11/28/04Last nite I went to the store
I needed some stuff, I thought.
I ended up with more razor blades
In addition to normal things I bought.
I stood in front of the display
Rows and rows of Gillette
Debating on the 5 or ten pack
Which one shall I get?
I actually stand there thinking
How many will I need?
Is five enuf before I'll stop
Needing to see myself bleed?
In this store, the razor blades
Are behind a little plastic door
That emits a loud squeal when you open it
So everyone sees you for sure.
Every now and then I imagine
That everyone in the store knows
That I really don't use them for shaving
And they're whispering 'oh, there that nutty one goes'.
When I need to buy tape and gauze
And ointment to handle the sore
I am afraid they will figure the whole thing out
So I buy those at a different store.
Its so ironic, these gyrations I go throw
To hurt myself again.
Will I ever stop for good?
Is is possible? If so, when?...... |

| anon 1: This person is not a phsyco, when one self harms it is merely the lack of available and/or obvious coping mechanisms. Drug abuse and self harm are coping mechanisms, but they are dangerous. They're obvious and almost unavoidable. This poet is NOT a physco, at least 1 in 5 people have experienced self harm (first hand) at one time in their life..........
anon 3: Chances are, you have no idea this person exists. It's a poem, that a lot of people can relate to. People that self harm feel alone, but they're not. There's so many people out there that just do the same. I think you've proved a point that it is a relatable subject. Maybe too much so............
the poet: This is a brilliant poem, just know you're not alone. I feel the same things, yet I don't buy the razorblades. I ask my mother to get some more. No one even realises that I've taken all 10 razorblades out of the 10pack. I know I need to shave every day but 10razorblades in a week is pretty obvious. Especially now my mum's found out I cut. Paranoia, depression, and self harm are all related to the same chemical imbalance (seratonin) in the brain. It's only natural you feel that everyone knows, everyone stares, and everyone whispers. They don't. Only you know wether you'll stop. It's best to try, but if you slip up (self harm again), don't beat yourself up about it. It's dependable, it's addictive, it can feel like you can't go without it... but you can, it'll take a long time to get out of the disfunctional spiral, but it is possible. |

| This poem is freaking good. When i go to the store i too, am afraid that they'll figure it out, but then i don't care. Don't care about what that fucking anonymous guy says. That person is probally a freaking prep. Sometimes, insted of cutting myslef, i take really cold or burning hot showes. You should think of doing that whenever you feel down. Take care........
