Sitting in the dark all alone
Questioning rather to die or suffer
Rocking back and forth
Crying my heart out like a child

My wrists are so vulnerable
So easy to cut wide open
I wander if to do so or not
But taking that chance and not at all

I throw the blade from my hand
Throwing it at the wall
The blade finally stops at the threshold
Stopping it for once and for all

I stand up and walk towards it
Pick up the knife and run
I run to the back yard and bury it
Bury it forever more

In a graveyard of my pains.

Very nice poem, though the act itself is often very difficult to break. Hope you succeed.

So far, this is absolutely the best thing you have written to date, in my opinion. I am glad you beat the cutting demon. I was shocked to find out how prevalent cutting always has been among American girls, even back when I was in high school in the early eighties (apparently, it has been happening for a long time!)
