    Poem Commentary

    I am part of this suicide prevention cause.. TWLOHA.org This is how I feel bout myself and this program

    To Write Love On Her Arm

     She has known such great pain
    Haunted dreams as a child
    The near constant presence of evil ever since

    And she has felt the touch of awful naked men
    Battled addiction and depression and attempted suicide

    Her arms remember razor blades
    Fifty scars that speak of self-inflicted wounds

    Six hours after I meet her she's feeling trapped
    Two groups of friends offering opposite ideas

    Everyone's asleep
    The sun is rising
    And she drinks long from a bottle of liquor
    And takes the razor blade from the table & locks herself in the bathroom
    She cuts herself using the blade to write 'fuck up'
    Large across her left forearm
    And to write love on her arms


    And this one's for Aliyah
    And this one's for myself

    Don't go
    Rescue is possible

    We hold back the darkness
    We can prove them wrong
    Love can change life

    To write love on her arms
