» Poem: Slicing away my pain
Slicing away my pain
written by suicide_penguin

From my life,
I derive so much pain,
And tha's how my rage,
Turned into an eyeliner blade,
Slicing away my pain,
Making me sane,
The people that know think they're to blame,
But it's all on me,
You see,
I made the decision consciously,
And no matter what way I let the blade slip,
I have to hide the slits,
Afraid of being discovered and judged,
Even by those closest to me,

I'm still afraid,
I'm not the same,

But the strife,
Brought on by my life,
Makes me picture a knife,
Just trying to sleep at night,
Has got me terrified,
At what my outlook on life,
Will be tomorrow

All I know now is that I have a promise to keep,
Or better as;
I must keep the blade away or there's a promise that people will see me;
Differently,

So I'll just go to sleep,
And see what tomorrow brings...
