Stress relief poetry

[spursgurl101]

When I get over-stressed writing poetry helps me and maybe you could read it and see if it helps you. Or you can even write your own poetry. Here are two I've written. The second is response to the first.

I cut to bleed,
I cut to be free.
No one knows and no one cares.
I want someone to see,
I'm not perfect,
Not anymore, not ever.
Some people runaway,
Just to see if someone cares enough to follow.
So I ask you this,
If I ranaway,
Do you care enough to follow?
Would you see the blade and take it?
Would you hold me tight and say
"Everything will be alright."?
When I put the blade to my arm,
All I see is pain and sorrow.
Would you see it to?
If I ran would you catch me?
If I cut would you stop me?
I would probably guess not....
Would I be right?



2nd poem

I said I'd stop you,
But I need something in return.
The feelings you feel,
I feel.
The sorrow you see,
I see.
The pain you endure,
I endure.
We never confided in eachother,
Until one day when I tickled it out of you.
In fifteen minutes I had you crying in my arms,
Begging me not to say a word.
When I ran,
I thought of you.
When I cut,
I felt you.
You were in mind,
And now you're in my heart.
Save me,
Save me so I can save you.
Maybe together we can run away.
Stay together,
You with me and me with you.
Without you I cry,
Without you I cut.
It took me awhile to see,
That I love you like you love me.
Come find me and join my arms,
Like you did monthes ago.
Let me hold you,
Let me let you hold me.
Even though I'm strong,
Without you I'm weak.
You say I'm Superman,
Well you're my kryptonite.
Only without you I grow weak,
And with you I grow strong.
Please don't make me wait long,
I made you that promise last week.
Make me a promise now,
Say you love me too.
I said I'd stop you,
But will you stop me too?

Cut to bleed? Sounds like depression not "stress".

You need to see a shrink.

[spursgurl101]

Here's another one of my "depression" poems.

Dear Mom.

Dear Mom,
I'm not saying this to be mean,
But please open your ears and listen.
Listen to my pleas and crys,
Listen please and wipe my eyes.

I don't want to hate you,
In ten years despise you,
But at the moment you're giving me no choice.
You're taking me forgranted,
Making me babysit without asking,
How do you know I'm not busy?
You're telling me secrets I can't bare,
Don't you think I have secrets of my own?

Dear Mom,
I'm not saying this to make you mad,
I need to tell you something real bad.
I don't know how to phrase it,
So I'll come out and say it.

There's a hole in my mattress,
In that hole a box,
In that box a blade,
The blade is bloody.
Can you guess with who's blood?

You see me as confident, strong and unbreakable,
But the real me is scared, weak, and brittle.
Why do you make me feel,
That my only reason of living,
Is to do your every bidding?

My friends tell me I'm capable of things great,
But how can I accomplish this,
When you keep me locked up tight?

We used to be bestfriends,
What happened?
You're blind to my wants,
And oblivious to my needs.

Dear Mom,
I'm not saying this to make you hurt,
The last thing I want to see you do is cry.
But would it matter if you saw me crying?
You say it would but would it really?

I need freedom,
Let me be 14,
Not 33.

Dear Mom,
It's time to say goodbye,
If I don't leave now,
I'll die.
I can't keep cutting myself,
I can't keep being your other half,
And I can no longer be a second mother to these children.
So mom I'm leaving,

But you know I won't,
You know I can't.
You have me tight around your finger,
And I can't get loose.
So back to the bloody blade, in the purple box, in that large hole,
Because that's all I have to keep my soul,
My soul away from you.


oh and Corso I have a better knife. It has two ends, one jagged and one straight but I'm getting sharpened because its dull but its stainless steel

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I said im sorry momma!
I never meant to make you cry but tonight, IM CLEANIN OUT MY CLOSET!!!

[NASpurs]

There's a hole in my mattress,
In that hole a box,
In that box a blade,
The blade is bloody.
Can you guess with who's blood?
Ok that's just disturbing. I've known people like this and they always scare the hell out of me.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

I recommend you read some of MOOKIE, more specifically, the "Will To Live" series.

[Trainwreck2100]

I think that I could never see
a thing as lovely as a tree
but then I think I saw a tree
and on that tree there was a bee
and then to the bee i did plea
"Please do not sting me mr. bee"
And the the bee said "I shall sting thee"
but his plans were foiled by a flea
but why did you save me mr. flea?

[spursgurl101]

Ok that's just disturbing. I've known people like this and they always scare the hell out of me.
Sorry if I freak the hell out of you!

[NASpurs]

Sorry if I freak the hell out of you!I guess people have their own ways of relieving their stress but cutting is just a bad way seriously.

Go exercise, punch a punching bag or anything that involves you wearing yourself out instead of cutting yourself is my advice to you.

I've known a girl like you before and everytime she talked about how she cut herself scared me to death because of her safety and life and reading what you wrote, scares me.

*edit*

If writing poetry and you posting it here helps you, then keep posting it.

[ALVAREZ6]

emos....






emo music/style is such bullshit, wake up, life is good.

You should be happy to be alive rather than being depressed and slitting your wrists and singing terrible songs.

Hearing men cry and sing in girly voices does not go well with rock music, but somehow these douche bags pull it off.








It seems like you have a problem with your mom? Why don't you just talk to her?

[ALVAREZ6]

You are a freak with that knife talk...


Why do you have to be suck a pussy? Why can't you just talk to your mom?

BTW, what is your situation? Help us out a little bit, you don't have to express everything in a poem. Just tell us.

It seems like you are crying because you have to babysit and constantly do things for your mom???


Before cutting oneself, you would think that they would at least confront the person.



You are to a tough situation as a white suburban kid is to the projects.

[spursgurl101]

ok first of all, none of ya'll know me so ya'll don't know if I really cut.
Second, I don't plan on plastering my situation all over the internet because of couple of my family members are regulars here and they don't know I'm here.
Third, I don't give a damn about how ya'll feel about us emos. Obviously you don't know how it is, so b4 you judge, think about their stituations.

And yeah it does help to write poetry here but if you're planning on constantly judging me then I suggest you don't read it.

Thankyou

So what are you crying over?


babysitting?


I don't know if you actually cut?

every other word in your poetry is either: "cut" "bloody knife" or "blade"

[spursgurl101]

I don't know if you actually cut?

every other word in your poetry is either: "cut" "bloody knife" or "blade"

so what? I could be merely writing for the love of it and merely making it dark. And if you must know my mom puts way too much pressure on me to be the perfect little saint that I just can't be anymore. Always making me babysit even if I was gonna go out and always focusing on herself and no one else and yeah it does get frustrating. But that's not the only reason why I write poetry about cutting. I had a rough childhood alright? I never really had a father and a lot of other really depressing stuff that I don't feel like sharing happened to me when I was younger.

So there now you know some of my stituation, happy?

[midgetonadonkey]

You poetry sucks. No type of rhyme scheme, no rhythm, and no depth. I hate teenagers and their lame ass "dark" poetry.

[spurs=bling]

Damn. i'm going through a really hard time right now, but none of the poems i've made are like this. nowhere near.

[spurs=bling]

i don't make "dark" poetry.

rofl

midget is on fire today

this thread is just like those emo song that go
"I feel pain inside!
and you don't know my pain
the pain inside, it hurts so bad!"

hahahaha

[spursgurl101]

Well midget I don't give a damn what you think and back to my original post. If you plan on judging me and my poetry then don't read it! You lame ass probably doesn't understand it anyway!

P.S. Bling was that suppose to mean something about your poetry not being like mine?

[ALVAREZ6]

OK, there's a start.


If you truly care about yourself, why don't you confront your mom about it? Talk with her a little.

You have nothing to lose. You gotta move on in life, you only live once. Live a happy life, I'm sure that there are billions of people who would die to be in your position. People in this country don't realize how lucky they are to be born here and have food, shelter, safety, etc.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

bling, this chick is calling you out!

[spursgurl101]

oh the guilt speech. Trust me, I know it ny heart. All my friends give me it. Here's the thing, how do you tell your own mother that she's a selfish backstabbing bitch who only cares for herself? I can't, I rather cut myself...oh wait.

[ALVAREZ6]

Well you obviously don't use that language but you still give her your opinion and work from there. Give her good reasons.



And what do you mean by backstabbing and all that crap, if you're not gonna give us a lot of background information, then there is no point of sharing this poetry because we will never be able to understand where all the hate comes from.

You can make your decision.

[spursgurl101]

true. I might just try that. who knows maybe it'll work. I'll update.

[spurs=bling]

P.S. Bling was that suppose to mean something about your poetry not being like mine?
i mean that the situation i'm in right now is the worst time of my life. but yet i see that there is alot of things worth living for, no matter how bad the pain is i know i need to move on. life is gonna give people some hard times. but if you think about cutting yourself because your mom makes you babysit? that is just wrong,be glad that you still have your mom.

[spurs=bling]

bling, this chick is calling you out!
its been taken care of.

[ALVAREZ6]

I have gone through the shittiest year of my life too, it plain sucks.



But I can't complain, I still have Spurs playoff basketball to watch.

[spursgurl101]

Bling I wasn't calling you out, I was merely wondering why you called me out. If you had looked at my earylier post you would have seen another reason of why I cut myself. I really don't want to spell out my childhood on the web ok. And Alvarez, Spurs playoffs, while entertaining and helpful it is, it doesn't exactly take away all the stress in my life.

P.S. Bling, I'm sorry for whatever is happening to you. I don't know what it is and I understand if you don't feel like telling me,( please I'm a woman with many secrets), but yeah I understand where you're coming from and believe me I'm trying hard to quit cutting. I really am which is the purpose of the poetry. It helps relieve stress that would otherwise have ended up with the blade and stuff.

To everyone, I'm sorry if I came off as an evil little emo chick who gets too defensive too often but you're not exactly giving me an easy time here. Trust me I'm not usually like this but a lot of crap has been going on in my life right now and I just got off the phone with my boyfriend and I'm feeling much better.

[ALVAREZ6]

The Spurs playoff thing was more of a joke.

actually i only talk about what is going on in my life with some people. and where i'm coming from? please explain that the part of your sentence to me.

[spursgurl101]

I know I was joking on that front, everything else I was serious,

[spursgurl101]

i mean that the situation i'm in right now is the worst time of my life. but yet i see that there is alot of things worth living for, no matter how bad the pain is i know i need to move on. life is gonna give people some hard times. but if you think about cutting yourself because your mom makes you babysit? that is just wrong,be glad that you still have your mom.
that's what I meant. that I see what you mean about a lot of things worth living for.

[spurs=bling]

that's what I meant. that I see what you mean about a lot of things worth living for.
and there are. my mom passed away a month before my 14th birthday. and my dad is a architect, and lately he hasn't been at home that much. but i see the brighter side of things these are tests in life. but the question is are we gonna pass them or fail?

[midgetonadonkey]

Well midget I don't give a damn what you think and back to my original post. If you plan on judging me and my poetry then don't read it! You lame ass probably doesn't understand it anyway!

haha

like this shit is so deep I can't possibly understand it. If I can understand Colridge's The Rime of the Ancient Mariner to where I can write a 6 page paper on it, I can understand this juvenile nonsense.

I burned all of my teenage poetry. I couldn't risk someone finding that shit considering teh fact I'm going to teach English.

[spursgurl101]

Spursgurl, is this you?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pw4gnRZpyos
no!

You know what I would appreciate if you would all stop making fun of me.

Midge, you honestly pick on ppl weaker than you? YOU COWARD!!

Bling, I'm sorry about your mom.

Faded, if you think that owning a 14/15 year old is a good job then you really need to get more backbone and morality.

So if anyone else cares of making fun of me then post it now.

[katyon6th]

Shit Midge, she called you a coward. You going to just take that from her?

[Trainwreck2100]

Wow there's lots if insults here
Simply said it's quite queer
Don't mock what one holds dear
For it is replied with a sneer
So let's just all have a beer.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

midget would not approve of your rhyme structure

[Juice]

Teens cut because of deep-seated feelings of not being able to measure up to family expectations - sometimes even their own. This is also where the desire to run-away comes from. When your an adult and your parents go into one of their 'measure-up tirades' you can tell them to fuck off and mind their business, but when your a teen, your pretty much at the mercy of their criticism because anything else is smarting off. If left bottled-up, these feelings can manifest into even more destructive behavior later in life.

Writing poetry is a creative outlet for those covert feelings, certainly much better than cutting. Usually, as teens mature and they fit into a comfortable role in their lives - their own place, their own money - they discover that their feelings about their own inadaquecies which led them to cut were largely undeserved.

[2Blonde]

Writing is a much more positive form of stress relief than actually harming yourself. So if you get your feelings out by writing, no matter how dark the feelings are, then it can be a positive thing. When and if you are ready to talk to your mom, you will. Hopefully it is sooner rather than later. I think you would be surprised if you shared some of these writings with your mom. As the mom of a 14 year old myself. My first reaction would be to hug my child and see what I could do to help. And then get us into therapy. The simple fact is your mom doesn't realize how much pressure she is putting on you and you need to find a non confrontational way of letting her know. But remember that at 14 you think the world exists to revolve around you, at least it did for me. You are still part of a family and as such, you have to pull some of the weight to keep that family running. So a certain amount of stress is expected. No-body's life is completely carefree. That's why we find stress relievers. Just reach for the positive ones. Mine happens to be drawing.
Keep writing.

[Trainwreck2100]

midget would not approve of your rhyme structure

I find to ryming structure flows well
Anyone who doesn't like it,
can go to hell

[spursgurl101]

Thankyou Juice and 2Blonde that helps a lot.

[PakiDan]

It freaks the hell out of me that you responded toyourself in poetry.... like a schizophrenic savante.

I hold the hammer tight
why do you scorn me, jar of piss?

I cry when I think of you
I drop a piece of doo in there...

It helps to know there is doo in the pee.
My brain is tired...
so tired

I hug the jar
I will drink and be free
I swing the hammer.
I am psycho.

[spurs=bling]

Midge, you honestly pick on ppl weaker than you? YOU COWARD!!

Bling, I'm sorry about your mom.



i'll tell you one more time. DON'T START WITH MIDGE. just trust me on this. you won't get anywhere no matter how much you try.

[spursgurl101]

I won't but if he keeps messing with me, I'm not just going to allow him to insult me.
