    Causing Me Harm
    I rip, I tear,
    to get out of my skin.
    Can't take this feeling
    that comes from within.
    This fear, this anger, 
    this anguish, this hurt
    these feelings that come, 
    that strike me alert
    My anxiety, my passion, 
    my wild heart,
    I finished it slowly, 
    but was quick to start.
    I flick the lighter
    on at once
    to start my hobby,
    gone on for months.
    The blade is drawn
    across my arm
    and I begin
    causing me harm

    thank you, you have no idea how much that means to me . thanks again :)

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
