Why I Cut...

"Why cut your life away" they say.
I cut for many reasons 
Which are not worth losing my life over.
I can't love cause that trust
Has been taken.
I      bein this way.

I want to end it yet
I'm afraid of the end.
These are the reasons
Of why I cut myself:

I cut to relieve the emotional pain 
And to feel the physical pain.
I cut cause I know that no guy will go out with me.
I cut when I feel used up/useless.
I cut cause I      my life
Not because of my family or friends
But because I can't trust
Cause someone took that away from me.

I hope you understand why I cut now 
Or at least some what of what I mean...

You have beautiful poetry, however I believe forgiving the people who hurt you is much more powerful and longer lasting solution.You actually release the person from what they have done to you and it releases you from hatred toward them and yourself!! Many Smiles Phebe
