I, Sang. by =andanar:iconandanar:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Human Nature > Fixed




Darkness wraps me in its arms, safe, cold.
Eyes half closed, but still seeing the shadowed world about me.
Night clear as day, my world.
My wrist burns, stinging at the steel yet welcoming it.
Parting my flesh, it feels good – I'm alive.
Slick and wet the blade falls from my grip,
Yet, this is not death – but life.
I bow my head, still troubled at what I am,
But doing what I must to keep the beast at bay.
The first taste still shocks me, yet I welcome it.
I craved this, yet didn’t know it.
My soul sang out the truth of what I am.
And I heard.

This is my first post here, and I hope that it's in the correct place. I've gone through and am still going through a lot of things in my life that i'm trying to make sense of and writing helps. I don't claim any great merit for the work, but it's from the heart.

Thankyou for that. It relates to a part of me i'm struggling with, and that i've been able to discuss with only two people. I guess you either get it or you don't, but that's deliberate - there's a subtext with this one. But thanks for the comments. Appreciate them.

The subtext is definitely something I relate to in ways yet unspoken. I love it. It's real, it's true, it's honest... I understand.

It is honest, and deliberately written on two levels. If you understand the subtext, you understand a lot more about me than most. I'm glad you like it so much, and I appreciate the :+fav: . Thankyou.
