abuseHm, I think what I like best sbout your poetry is the way it flows. It's just so steady. And that's why I enjoyed this poem. It talks about things that so many scorn if they read it in poetry, such as cutting and whatnot. But I think it works. It has a, I don't want to say whiny because it's not annoying or anything, just very strong tone to it.

There are some things in this poem, however, that I really didn't think did anything for me. But of course I know that you know that these are just /my/ opinions and you shouldn't change anything you don't want to because it's your work.

"and i want to wake up
in a bed like a seashell,"

I'm not sure I like the whole seashell simile here. It seems to me more decorative than anything and I just think you could find a better comparison.
But again, just me.

Overall, well done.
