Colleen Root Poems

see her bleeding from the cuts unknown
shes gone to far
shes cut to deep
now she wonders to herself what it'll be like on the other side.
...

I beat myself bloody
I beat myself raw
See me sitting here with the knife that will end it all
I slide the blade across my skin
...

See the scars
See her scars
They are so noticeable
So unfixable
...

carvings on my arm
all alone doing harm
its hard to understand why cutting releaves my pain
i dont understand why im never happy
...

i remember the time
before he died
my dad pushing me on the swings
hugging me goodnight
...
