Blades and Banter

December 9, 2014
By Anonymous

Red furrows buried and undug,

are scrawled upon mine own flesh.

I bleed freely,

as the blade marches up and down mine own skin.

 

Voices of hate argue with voices of reason.

You are not worth it,

This is not you,

You are worthless,

I thought you wanted to stop?

 

Evil says:

You are evil, worthless, and cursed.

You deserve none better than to bleed,

eternally, in hell.

You deserve your agony and torment.

 

Reason says:

You are a gift of God,

You have purpose!

You are perfectly imperfect!

Judging is a part of life!

 

Mine head echos with faded sounds and screams.

Mine body writhes.

The banter between reason and hate continues,

IT SHALL NOT CEASE!!!

It shall not cease!

 

remember;

thine mouth is powerful,

It can slay an army of Angels,

It can dominate and destroy.

Your words can waken demons and devils...

 

Beware!

Beware!!

Beware!!!

 

Thine mouth is powerful!

I am stuck in a vicious cycle of cutting and not (i'm getting help). I get bullied, and those bullies are the evil. My voice of reason tells me I am hurting myself, but the bullys never stop.

I love your poem! Please remember that it gets better. I used to cut myself, but now I've been clean for six months. It really does get better.
