Triggering (SI) - Life In Chains (poem) *comments?*
A life in shackles, bound and gagged,
Losing my happiness, losing my health.
Chained to the person I hate the most,
No escape from myself.
I torture,I suffer,I make myself bleed,
Pain is the only way to cope.
I'm afraid of myself, my dangerous thoughts,
I'm losing my mind,I'm giving up hope.
No-where to run from the nightmare I'm in,
My dirty secret, my hidden life.
My best friends have been replaced,
By scissors, badges, a pin, a knife.
Hidden scars tell a hidden story,
A much darker side to the person you see.
Suffocated by my lies,
Self-hatred building up in me.
I'm my own bully, my own victim,
I paint on a smile and cry inside.
The empty shell of a once happy person,
I bleed to know I'm still alive.
Cutting arms, swallowing pills,
Drinking,partying, staying up late.
Stuck on the path of Self Destruction,
Destroying the person that I hate.
comments please? thanks guys
lots of love

I definitely can identify with this poem. And the last line is so intense. I really like your poetry. That last verse just capitalizes on everything. Really great job!!
