I cant tell you how screwed up I am
I cant tell you how I screwed my life up
I cant tell you whats going on
I cant tell you that I am bleeding
I cant tell you that I need you
I cant stand the fact of you being sad or mad
I cant tell you that I'm addicted to destroying myself
I cant let you know who I really am
I cant tell you sorry if i don't mean it
But...

I cant cope with myself

The author's comments:
The month of May is usually the whole cut awareness month and teen suicide month so that's what inspired me. Plus I had a friend a few years ago kill her self. She kept cutting and cutting till she cut her finally she cut right above the blood vein and got sent to the hospital where she bled to death. I hope from this poem that people will open their eyes more often to see the people around them and think to themselves how much will these people miss me when I'm gone and is cutting worth it or is threatening to commit suicide worth it.
