Self Harm

by Heather Williams - Libra

It's a problem with ignorance written all over it
"Why would you want to kill yourself?"
It wasn't suicide
Sometimes the day just gets to you
Imagine an alcholic sitting in his chair
Lit up only by the unpleasent glow of his TV
Chugging down his beer to wash everything away
My problem is the same
It's a jungle in my mind
I have to cut things out of my way
And in the end I get lost
In society and I have to wake up
Every single morning of my life
And I have to realize 
That I am an outcast
And if you need proof just look at my arms

Reason for writing:

    I think pretty much all of you have read other poems about the whole self mutalation thing. Just on some days I get to thinking about it too much and there is nothing else to do but write about it. I'm sorry if you are tired about hearing it.
