So many cuts,
So many screams.
But oh thank God,
It was only a dream.
Now I'm awake,
And on the alert.
That wasn't just a dream,
It was my real hurt.
I wonder what had happened,
Before I passed out cold.
I look down at my body,
And see my worst cut ten-fold.
I sit there and I think,
Did I finally accomplish my dream?
Was I so close to death,
I want to fall back asleep?
Then maybe I'll make a cut,
Even deeper than before.
Put myself in that Hell-bound world,
And fall back on the floor.
So here goes nothing,
Just one more shot.
I'll slice my throat from ear to ear,
That's the only chance I got.
There goes my life,
I'm slipping away.
I have finally done it,
My first shining day.
My note is on the bed,
My body begins to swell.
'As far as I'm concerned,
I'll see you all in Hell! '
Well I've finally done it,
And won this awful game.
The one I hope you never find,
It's called the Cutting Game.
I made this as a continuation of a poem on www.quizilla.com by 112234567. It's called depressions game.

Startling! Sure got my attention...sweel should be swell? in next to last verse? I have bipolar (manic-depressive) myself, fairly mild. I've read that a high proportion of creative people suffer from bipolar - extreme highs and lows. Ironically, that's where some of our creativity comes from - born out of extremities and reflected in our art. A high price to pay, but also some compensation. I hope you don't follow thru on your poem's theme. You have a lot to give and create: just one life affected makes a big difference - and you are that difference. Thanks for 'opening your wounds' to the world.
