Everyone has problems, <br />Some may be worse and some not as bad <br /> But when it comes to hurting yourself, <br />All you feel is sad… <br /> <br />Trying just to get away, <br />Hiding myself from the world. <br />Trying to make it all better, <br />When I’m finally becoming up- whirled… <br /> <br />Looking for an escape, <br />Just thinking I should die <br />Telling my parents what they want to hear, <br />Knowing that it’s all a lie… <br /> <br />I go upstairs and go through my drawer, <br />Then finally pull it out. <br />Cutting and cutting, <br />Until I eventually feel worn-out… <br /> <br /> I hide it each day, everyday I live, <br />Just hoping no one will find out. <br /> I don’t do it to die, <br />I just do it to let go, <br /> <br />And hoping someday <br />I’ll finally breakout. <br />Breakout of my shell and finally reveal, <br />A secret that will always be closed with a seal<br /><br />Candy Simpson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/cutting-and-cutting/
