The Buzzard Circles

the tracks of a sleigh ride
carved on a scarred arm
a step from suicide
escalates with each personal harm

does anyone really care
have they read your written word
parents, friends are never there
they consider you absurd

how much more will you take
before making that final slice
a rash decision you make
oozing life's richest spice

the comfort you find
as the pain is released
it'll blow their mind
once you're deceased

the life you had wanted to live
trickles through the embalmers streams
you've no more soul to give
for all your hopes and dreams

twas so easy for you
to leave without a fight
parents, friends bid you adieu
you've proved them right.....


Dedicated to all who inflict self pain,
my heart goes out to you, and may you one day realize
that you are worthy and no one is worth hurting
yourself over, be thankful for today, for tomorrow
may be worse, and yesterday is just a memory...God Bless

** there seems to be a growing trend of children known as cutters, they cut themselves and bleed thinking it to be away of releasing pain, most just end up with loads of scars and begin feeling even worse, teen suicides are also at
an all time high, what the f have we done to the children of the world................

I don't know what to say other than wow...

amazing insight,..

Very nice piece here, really speaks to my past.

I guess to answer your question, I think there is too much information out there....the Information Age has turned into a juggernaut. Bombardment of images, words telling people just how to live, how cool they are, what they need want desire hate lovefeeljfkdkjfdl......see?? I think it's too much for some kids, they can't find their 'center', that core of who they are and what they want to be, Confusion reigns. Toss into that parents who don't care, who abuse in all forms, or who pushpushpush their kids to be the best at any cost, friends that don't listen or don't care and it all comes crashing in,there is a need to 'release' the pain and confusion via pain.

Sorry for the rant...just wanted to share

nicely said and I think you're right, they have a very hard time finding their center and then just when they think they've found a piece of it they find out it's all ******** lies from one generation to the next

The thing I've noticed. Information is traded in the hospital among the teen patients and then the problems compound to more than what they went in with in the first place. Severe emotional pain is a ***** to prove - physical pain you can point to and say there, there ya see it's broken, it's bruised, or its bleeding. The something wrong is obvious and not just "trying to get attention or whining or being bullheaded and punishing someone else". Plus, you don't HAVE to tell on anyone but yourself.

Nice
cheers man,im a burner
why?
the pain makes you feel warm?
never been a cutter,messy and it doesent hurt just stings.
great and the name fits perfect!

Very powerful write...my son was a cutter for a small period of time. Thank god he stopped. It is a very real problem, very addictive and dismissed by many.
