I Just Sliced Myself!

Take the razor Slice so fast That it's more than 23 It burns It stings Suck it up you big baby And then do it again It hurts so bad I cry But then stop And say grow up Then I slice some more. . . This is a true story I sliced my arm over 52 time in one setting On did this November 26, 2008 At 10:16pm

So well written. Couldn't have said it better myself. Even though I never cut that many times on the same place in the same setting, I cut pretty deep a few times and almost didn't get the bleeding to stop. By the way, Cod-man is busy writing songs. He probably won't get back with you tonight.

Pain manifest in flesh can be tempting. I appreciate the cyclical elements of this work: inescapable habits work to ground the rage. Stay strong in your outlook, Alexz! Warm regards, John.

Poetry should be your outlet, not cutting yourself. Besides its probably a little less painful.

Hi Alexz, I have worked with a few cutters. I am sure you carry much pain inside. You are not the only one. If you can find a support group it seems to really help just listening to others say the things you thought only you felt. This may sound weird but get a marker and make X's on the place you want to cut until you cannot anymore. Many cutters are very artistic and their creativity can help release the pain. Keep writing...find help.

I knew a cuter who died to young, she left behind so much unsung, a love a life memories gone to soon a person someone like you take the time to think and learn slicing scars and burns scream in rage out loud or on a page years from now remember you are someone and she died when she surrendered.

Alexz I once was a cutter like how you explain in this poem. I am much better now and I hope the same for you. I know everyone has their difficulties but now I'm ashamed and embarrased when people ask me "Oh my god, what's that scar from?" And of course I have to make up some story because I don't want everyone to know what I was going through. I wish you the best!
