The Sunshine cradled me,
When I was a child.
But now She's set me free,
My soul runs wild.

I search for a touch,
Needing something real.
But what good is a touch,
If you cannot feel?

The author's comments:
I am a 16 year old boy who struggles with addiction and cutting. I've been writing poetry since the age of twelve. I took a break from thirteen to fifteen, and started to write again when I was institutionalized last year. This is the first poem I wrote when I started back up. It's about my struggle with cutting, and how I progressively got worse.
I've written a whole book of short stories and poems that I'm trying to get published. The short stories mostly consisit of horror.
