Great poets don't need to cut themselves
They don't ever need to retreat
They're stronger and more vibrant
Than just the literature on these sheets
They've all been through hell on Earth
And will begin to endure much more
Because their souls so ache for their hearts to bleed
They're in love with the feeling before
it all gets resolved, before it comes together
Some cut so they can feel themselves
But true poetry feels so much better
They don't ever need to retreat
They're stronger and more vibrant
Than just the literature on these sheets
They've all been through hell on Earth
And will begin to endure much more
Because their souls so ache for their hearts to bleed
They're in love with the feeling before
it all gets resolved, before it comes together
Some cut so they can feel themselves
But true poetry feels so much better
I've done it.
Many of us have.
But I stopped years ago.
And today I'm glad I had.
I wish everyone in the world that ever wanted to cut would talk to me first. I wish they all lived in my city so I could hug them, listen to them, cry with them, and remind them what they're worth.
