Abrasion
By: Becca

Why can’t you
Take no for an answer
You’re holding on
Dragging me down faster and faster
You never listen
To a word I say
When I say “leave”
I want you to go away
My life is perfect
Well maybe to you
See it from my eyes
Walk in my shoes
My family’s great
Yes they’re grand
But I’m alone
No one’s holding my hand
I hate myself
How did I become this
This abomination
With scars on her wrists
I want to cry
But the tears don’t come
I’m stuck here
Always feeling numb
I lay on my bed
Words spill from my hand
And my eyes water
I’ve had all I can stand
Sure I’m happy
Or so I appear
But inside I’m dying
To get out of here
I need someone
To take my hand
And guide me through life
Though I’ve been damned
Just hold me close
Let me cry
Accept me as I am
And know I try
I don’t do this
For the attention
I’m hurting
I am my own abrasion

Silent Stare
By:Sarah

Your silent stares abuse me
They cut right through me and destroy me
They hurt, I bleed, I want, I need
Someone to hold me in their arms
To what may seem like a lifetime
This pain, it isn’t unbearable
You, I can handle seeing you not seeing me
Me, I want to kill me, drug me up and distill me
They scrape, they burn, they love, they yearn Sometimes I hate and sometimes I love
But mostly I struggle to feel anything at all
You struggle to cut yourself alive
To feel, to love, to dream and to hate Me, I struggle to not hurt anymore
But it never seems to work out the way I wanted

------Poetry By Me, Bailey------

beautiful
i want to lock away your beauty
Lock it with my key
keep it safe so only i can see
But thats not fair to the world
for what is beauty worth if it can not be seen by many?
It is not just your outmost appearance
for i am afraid you wouldn't be beautiful at all,
if not for your personality.
As much of a cliche' it is, you take my breath away.
in my presence you seem to paralize me
Like a snake's fangs injecting its venom
And I feel it, it courses through my veins and i am alive,
everything is coherent and falls into place
But eventually the feeling fades, usually with your regression.

Pretty Girl
Pretty pretty girl
with her pretty pretty scars
from the sharp sharp blade...
that leaves blisters on her arms..

......

i want to
I want to cut
i want to bleed
i want to hear my body scream

Its the only thing thats real
The only thing i'll feel
The only thing i KNOW will heal...

......

Full
Some say they are empty
they cut just to feel.
but i am not empty.
I am full--
full of hate? Never.
i thrive on love
All i know is that its never okay
until i let it out.
the only way is through the blade.
I bleed, but i do not bleed blood.
i bleed out the horror within me.
And until it builds up again,
i am okay.

......

What am i ?
I will never lie.
I will control your pain
and when im in your hands,
you'll sit and ask me 'why?'
If you tell your friends,
they'll think you've gone insane
So just remember,
the cuts will make it go away.
