Cuff

By crimson-river on July 5th 2008, late afternoon.
on topic Who am I? Really



I thought I knew myself so well.
And now that I realize I don't, it hurts.

Everything I thought I would never throw away
I gave them up for good.

I have a new beginning
but I don't know what to make of it.

I don't know how to start over
when I never really had a complete end.

It all happens so suddenly.
I weaken and snap.

Everyone thinks I'm paranoid
and they don't understand.

I'm too scared to seek help.
So everyone leaves me be.

I only get worse
so I'm contemplating, suicide.

Soon, they notice my pain.
The cuts on my arms they don't take as a game.

I start to get defensive
and throw my fist into faces.

I struggle to get away
but I give up the fight.

They cuff my wrists
as I lose my battle for death.

True Story. That's all I want to say at this point.

    This is a painful and honest write and so full of many strong emotions. you have done a great job putting your feelings onto paper here. Yes, I would remove some of the commas. That is my opinion only. I would remove the comma in lines 1,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,14,15,22. I hope this helps. Nice write! Blessings, Patty
