Self-Harm
A Poem | Samantha Steiner
These feelings bubble to the surface once again
And I can’t help but to feel
Like my razor is my only friend
Inside I’m hurting more than words can explain
So I put the razor to my arm
And breathe deep
As I let the blade dig in
I let it numb me
And then I do it again
I don’t want to feel
This anger and sadness
That resides in me
So I press harder
And go at it again
But I’m never satisfied
Because the urge to go deeper
Gets stuck inside my head
I retrace this thin line
Over and over again
I watch as the blood rises and spills
A sense of satisfaction finally creeps in
As I watch the blood slide down my wrist
And now it’s all over my clothes
How long will it be
Before I feel I have to self-harm again?
