FINAL THOUGHTS
the last chapter
My flesh lays open, my tears start to fall
I think back on life and I regret it all
Regret my mistakes, Regret my path
All my choices has lead to where I'm at
The blood runs fast as it starts to drip
As my mind races back to take a trip
Recalling the abuse, remembering the pain
Thinking how in life there is nothing here to gain
So watching my life slowly pass by
I sit here in silence waiting to die
For the cut wasn't deep through my memories are
And left in my heart is nothing but scares

Tony Taylor thank you so much for taking to time to read my poem... this poem is a piece I wrote at a very deep place in my life and I wanted to share it on here because of the amount of soul I put into it.no longer I'm I the person in this poem because through writing I have been able to heal and grow. Again thank you very much for your time
wonderful poem
Hello April, I could sense that feel of release which you must of got from writing this piece. You have captured what must of been a very dark moment. I am glad you are in a better place now. These sorts of poems people need to read. It’s still too much a taboo subject I fear. A really great write. So pleased I read it today 💛 x
Well done for writing this April. You are a brave person for sharing this and I truly admire you for it. I am sorry that you have had to deal with abuse, as I am for anyone who goes through it. The human brain is very clever. It enables us to do pretty amazing stuff - but there is a flip side to it. Our mind can haunt us. It can take us to dark places and make us "see" things in a warped way. Everything in this world needs balance and I think(and this is my own personal theory) that when we are in so much emotional pain the only thing that can bring us back in balance is a matching physical pain. But self harming is actually addictive (this is fact) which is why it is so damned hard to get out of. Writing is the best alternative...writing is also addictive! Thank goodness you are okay now and have pulled through to share with us your incredible write here. Blessings and hugs ⚘x
Thank you so very much and you are so right
