The Blade Poem by The Poet Darkling

The Blade



Blade against skin, I hesitate
Do I do it, or should I wait?
I'm all alone here in my shell
Need to free myself from this hell

Where darkness swallows up my soul
And tears to pieces what was whole
Then leaves me lying on the ground
Cold and naked, without a sound

Save his voice ringing in my ears
Echoing madly through the years
As madness takes ahold of me
I use the blade and I'm set free

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Contrary to popular belief, this poem is about a mental illness called 'cutting', not about suicide...Cutters, of which I am one, are an often misunderstood lot...
