I am too old and out of shape to beat around the bush so I'll give it to you straight. If you want sugarcoating go to the candy store, you won't find it here. Sometimes a little good old fashioned honesty is just what the doctor ordered!

i dont like to whine,but cut myself burn myself bruise myself am bullied and have depression and i wrote this poem about it and ive suffered with self harm for about 4 years and i would like to have feedback on whether or not its any good....sorry there sad
Words hurt
and no razor can take that away from me
my sleeves were
once white but now stained red
the truth burns
more than any match can tell
i hide
behind the blood and the bruises
i worry that
some day someone will see through me
and ill have to face the scars

Make no mistake, you ARE a poet! I recognize this because I am also a poet and have read poetry for many, many years. You have talent. The downside of being a poet is that we feel things deeply. As you already know the world gets to see a totaly different person from the one you really are inside. Sensitive people often withdraw into themselves taking their intense pain with them in an effort to shield themselves from further hurt. You already know by now this doesn't work but it's the best you've got right now. Please listen carefully to what I am about to say. You can release these feelings through your poetry WITHOUT harming yourself! As soon as these feelings come to you WRITE, WRITE, WRITE! You are VERY talented! Your words are on fire! The kids who are picking on you today will be the grown-ups who will brag about having known you in school when you become a well known writer! I don't want to give you the same old counseling speech but it IS the thing to do right now, ok? There's no shame in it and nothing bad will happen. A good therapist will just teach you some coping skills for when things get out of control. Your writing is truly awesome. Try to write on some other subjects that you would feel comfortable showing in public. If you are still in school enlist the help of a teacher you feel comfortable with. You have very bright future ahead of you! Good luck and keep writing!
