009: Cuts Comments

I sympathise with their plight Still, this does not make it right To harm themselves, to break the skin When they hear that Spectre from within, So many beautiful lines and wise reflective sentiments. Your words are jems from the Emerald Isle to Scotland to the World.

You deal with this touchy subject very tactfully, a very well written poem, I like the way you write and the background information that goes along with it. :)

Hi Colin my friend, there's so much sadness, pain...The fight to escape the battles of demons that plague these souls....to self harm..is only a slight release for them...they cut, they bleed...the pain never leaves...but only for a brief moment, they have their control over what they do....it's a terrible affliction, but these tortured souls scream out within themselves...just not that many hear......this is brilliant...when you get the chance..please do read my *fOrGoTTeN cHiLd 1&2*.....I'm am totally with you on this wonderful insight.....thank you my friend for sharing with us

...Wow this brings back some past mistakes. Thanks for the read. It was a wonderful poem.

Thanks for the beautiful poem Colin. I'm sure I've seen that poem also. I understand the cutting to release their pain. Just thankful that I've never had to take it that far. Once again thanks for sharing.10++

Colin, this poem holds my attention after working years as a junior high school counselor. The terrible cuts I witnessed on beautiful girls (more than on the boys) and wanted to weep. Thanks for calling attention to this condition with your poem. Raynette
