Triggering (SH): poem

[Not_here]

Cleaned my room spotless
Cuddled with my cat
My best friend and roommate
Till he fell asleep on my lap

I lie awake beside him
Squinting my eyes to hold back my crying
Visualizing ways I could try dying

"Forgot" my blade at home
Because that's the only way I can go
To class and last
without ending up in the bathroom stall
Wiping blood off the floor and wall

I pray this time I won't need stitches
But the urge to cut deeper itches
All I could do is stick out the storm
But I just don't see the point anymore

I just want release once and for all
Like a collection of colorful butterflies
Springing out from an unlocked jar

I just want to be free
Free from the chains and the weight I carry
Free from the thoughts and memories I bury
Free from the prison complex hosted in my mind
And free from the electric fence I finally leave behind

I bet a lot of people can relate to this!

I agree, I think a lot of people will be able to relate to this. Keep writing and posting, okay? I've missed seeing you post here.

I really like how you wrote this especially the fourth and fifth stanza. I hope things are alright.

This was really good.
