You put this addiction into words so well. I got chills just reading it, because I was like, "Oh man, this is exactly what it feels like." I have TTM too, and have had it since I was 11. I'm 17 now. For the longest time I couldn't even go days without pulling; I went two whole MONTHS earlier this year and then screwed it up. I still haven't gotten back on track, and I just came on this site to try and find something to relate to. This poem was great.

Oh. My. Effing. Geezuz.
This is an amazing standpoint about a little-known problem. My favorite part was definitely
"so i vow to refrain
but the itch drives me insane--
tomorrow's forecast calls for rain."

So amazing. I really love it. You added just the right emotion to this, so it's serious, but not depressing, matter-of-fact I guess you could say.

And as a reply to your review on mine =P
Ilysomuch. You understood EXACTLY what I was trying to put out there. life, happiness, etc. was exactly what I was feeling, and I wanted to convey that. You amaze me =D

And I'm adding you to Author Alerts right now, because I thought I had you on there so if you got anything new I could read it, but apparently I didn't.
And you review like EVERYTHING I EVER WRITE, so I'm quite glad you asked me to review. Now excuse me, I'm going to go read your poem again. (:

You have good free style poems. I love you.
