Cutter

Contact with the skin
It hurts but in a good way
Now I feel alive.

So many interpretations can be made on this provocative poem, Yoni. For me, I see someone who finds it painful to initiate physical contact with another, but once they do, the fear and pain are gone and they are rewarded by joy. Very compelling write! I'm still in Jersey, but had to stop by and check out your write. Love you! Carolyn

So sad. As a nurse I've worked with people have to find pain in order to find relief of a deeper pain. Such a tragic life. Karen

Yes...this is a sad way many young people deal with pain...I hope it is something you can overcome if this is about yourself. Best wishes...

Sad but true. It would be hard to live with that much anxiety plaguing one eveyday. Keep writing. Sara
