Best Self Harm Poems


Self Harm
It calls me closer, its calls me near
'Just once and it'll be over'
Death whispers in my ear
Irresistible is its sweet entice
Staring down, which one to slice, 
I observe my previous tries
My unseen hurt and earlier cries
No peace in my mind, no peace in my head
The...

Self-Harm
Her eyes are full of secrets no one will know
She wears long sleeves so the scars won't show
at first it was by choice but now I can't take control 
scars on my wrist as well on on my soul 
They had even made their way to my...

Questioning Self Harm
How could she scar herself with cuts?
How could she wish for bad out comes
How could a girl so beautiful feel so insecure?
Scaring herself like she’s a manic
She’s crazy… insane
Just a young girl “what the heck does she know about pain?”
Wishing to die like she’s… yea,...

Self Harm
Death was too good 
Imprisioned in chains
Born to be undone
By rust and the rain
Once more I be slain...

School
School
They say they are here to help,
Yet have never actually helped.
They say they are there,
They are nowhere.
I don't see why they hate me,
Maybe they just can’t see.
All this rage,
I want to change.
I hate who I have become,
Yet I'm still so young.
I try to do good,
They...

Scarlet Tears
Fires ablaze within my eyes,
A smile concealing all my lies,
Screaming, begging, calling out,
A final, frantic, desperate, shout.

Scarlet tears drip from each vein,
A vehement covet to end this pain,
This silver blade, stays by my side,
Because all hope inside has died.

As each day ends, and darkness draws,
The...

Cattle
They keep us turning down the halls like cattle 
Keep your eyes up
Face forward
No phones
Stay in routine
You’ve done this for so many years now
No distractions
Don’t look at the broken people next to you
Face forward
A girl at your school killed herself because of the bullying
Study hard
They...

Why Am I Not Better Yet
Why am I not better yet?
I’ve stopped eating,
Stopped thinking
The clock is ticking
Faster, faster
The days are blending together
I’ve cried too many tears
I’ve lost too many friends
I’ve ran out of sleep
My hands are shaking
My legs are bouncing
My hair hasn’t been washed
My teeth are yellow
Why am I not...

Sad Young Lady
My lil lady is sorrowful thinking of what she's done
She calls me whimpering wanting to come home
The psychiatric hospital full of its treatments
Still can never understand the deep darkness

I too been there and sometimes find my way back
To a hate of oneself and why feeling...

The Art of Self-Destruction
I am the queen of self destruction.
Ritualistic Razor sharp scrutiny of my reflection -
constantly spewing hate at my mid-section, 
whilst effortlessly faking the pursuit of perfection. 

A crumbled up heart beckons restitution in the midst
of train-wrecked relationships,
ruinous friendships,
and crumbled up to do lists,
in white-knuckled fists....

My Cocaine
My arm’s bleeding 
Blood dripping on the floor
I’m weeping 
I double check if I closed the damn door
My mother thinks I’m sleeping
So, I better start cleaning
I can’t miss a drop, or she’ll start screaming
Oh hell, my arm’s sore
It’s heating
It’s steaming
The cut is so fresh, it’s...

Cat Scratch
Once upon a time, there was a girl who had a cat. 
He was a long haired siamese, with eyes of aquamarine and strands of silver fur. 
Every time the girl was sad, she'd lift her cat's paw and give herself a little scratch to...
