Just because someone writes about cutting...doesnt mean they are encouraging it. To talk about it takes courage. You say it as if everyone who calls this poem beautiful is a cutter and a sicko. WE arnt. it is beautifully written. You can feel the pain in this story. Im not saying why this was written. But i usually write insted of cut now.i almost had a friend who commited suicide. But she started writing now. And shes so far had no relapses. Dont talk about what you dont know Jessekah or w/e. This is a beautifully written poem.

How can people call a poem beautiful when its about someone cutting themselves. I read the poem i read what people reviewed. You say ure cutters and u say it so lightly like its kool. There was only one review that actually didnt sound like it. Yeh well you think its kool, you wait till your on the other side and someone close to you ends up killing themself.

As for this poem, I am no person to say poems are rubbish or crap, but i think you need to look further into this subject before you can go and write about it like that. When people cut themselves they don't lovingly do it. and as for stroking the blade that just doesnt make sense. And as for putting the band around her thigh thats just stupid. When people cut themselves they do it because of all the reasons that make them depressed and lonely and also because they are scared and also have a fear. Ok I am going to stop rambling on now. I just think this subject shouldnt be taken so lightly. And everyone would think the same thing once they've had someone close to them die because they've cut themself to deep one night or they have killed themself

wow...(that's a VERY good wow)

Nicely done, encompassing such a theme with such a beautiful flow.

Haunting, beatiful. So full of emotion, I can feel and see the girl in your poem. I can feel her pain, her need to feel. The imagery is so vivid and is so clear in my mind. Wonderful job.

good job, i'm tryin to quit cutting. It reflects the sort of odd painlessness of the cuts. But i dunno, what about fear? I don't know, am I the only one thats afraid 'cause no matter how hard I try I can't stop myself from taking up the blade...

Beautiful. Very detailed. I cut too.

Oh, wow. The imagery in this, it's amazing. Damn. Good job.

That was amazing. I really appreciated and understood it perfectly. I can really relate to this poem,thank you for expressing it in such a beautifully sad way. Good work.

Your poems really are very good.

Amazing poem. It's very poweful, especally because it hits so close to home. It's written with so much insite, unlike some other writers.

I absolutely love it. As a cutter I can truely relate. I have one question though: Why exactly did you make the wiccan refferance? Are you wiccan by chance?

I'm definately putting this on my favorite stories list

:D
