Emotional scars can cut deep, manipulating how you feel. And at night, when you try to sleep, phantom tears suddenly turn real. Admonishing God for how you feel, inner demons empower the blade. And nothing can stay the edge of steel, as your inhibitions start to fade. Slicing flesh, crimson blood oozes thick, granting the only relief you know. And rushing to analyze this trick, oceans of emotions ebb and flow. As pain purges pain, with searing heat, its fire melts the ice in your veins. And anxiety rides each heartbeat while trying to separate your pains. All alone, you contemplate self-worth, trapped inside of what's left of your heart. And in a world that's hurt you since birth, you cringe inside as life falls apart. (Quatrain) 5/4/2017

This' gives me the chills' Emile it's so true. We've seen this situation before and desperately tried to talk people out of it. You have voiced their feelings so powerfully. Peter Duggan in his remark below sums it up so well - Self love and pride in themselves is the answer. My 'Starry Starry Night' which you reviewed shows this from a different angle A Big 7 ...Maria

I am so fortunate not to have ever known the depression that would cause me to inflict such pain upon myself. Your lines tell of their thoughts in the truest, and saddest manner, Emile.

shalom, shalom Brother Emile. I used to NOT want to see blood. People can be so cruel; victims do become frozen humans; seeking identity & any feeling seems the right thing to do. But trying to separate PAINS? Sifting the sea with a flour sifter?

Shalom Sister Anil, your spirit shines bright, providing light for those who live in the shade. Emile.

A very deep and well done write, Emile. An emotion that can really destroy a human life.like a cobweb that sticks and makes you feel like it wants to take your soul and worse when the person is all alone. I've never have had these emotions, but I've been around a few that have and so heartbreaking to see.. a 7 ~*

Eve, you have a compassionate soul, and I thank you for sharing your feelings, Emile.

Emile your third and fourth stanza truly sheds a bright light on the pain that is so demanding of fighting it with self inflected pain which releases a feeling of control where there seems to be nothing but hopelessness. A very powerful piece! 7 ; )

Connie, your opinion is of great value ..as you have shown yourself to be a person of virtue with a strong sense of self, thank you..Emile.

A well-composed and empathetic piece that poignantly describes and embodies an understanding of the mind-set and torment that causes and perpetuates a particularly destructive type of behavior. Your poem completely captured my attention and I appreciated your composition and technique.

This is a poem that makes me cringe, because it's so familiar. That said, you have written it beautifully, describing that loneliness and despair and understanding of the relief it brings. And it's so well written, a 7 from me.
