A Cutter's Story Poem by Monica Paris

A Cutter's Story

Rating: 5.0


They found her in the shower
with blood all around her

And a note on the counter
that said she was sorry
but she could no longer take this life

To much pain and anger inside her
and the only relief she got was with the blade of a knife

You can read her diary that tells
of how the blade feels each time she cuts
and how there’s no greater high

Or you could read her body
for it’s covered in scars and each one tells a story

But her diary is a little easier to read
it tells of a girl that of only sixteen
that has gone through more than anyone should

She’s been hurt by family,
rejected by friends,
judged by strangers
and used by men

She use to just cut the first layer of skin
to let out the pain
and would flirt with the idea of going deeper
but I guess she got tired of flirting
and decided to cut the vein

It’s so sad to think the only way
this girl felt no pain was when she was
cutting herself with a blade

But after the cut has mended
there will be a scar on her wrist
and it will tell the story of how this cutter’s life ended
