Why? Poem Poem by Naomi Louise Short

Why? Poem



Why so people think that self harm is bad?

Why do people ask questions about my mum and dad?

Why is it that I hate my life?

When all I see is a girl holding a knife.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
So I have been going through a rough 5 years and I used to self harm and this is one thing I just didn't see why people made such a big thing when they found out about it. I understood that it's the way I learnt to cope with things and that everyone deals with things differently I just wished that other people could see the same thing.
COMMENTS OF THE POEM

This is a fairly common theme here on PoemHunter. Usually it is younger females who describe it as a coping mechanism or as a way of feeling some sense of control, but lament the misunderstandings of others for their actions. I think that writing about it is a good start to healing. Thanks for sharing, Naomi and keep writing. Peace
