The Cutting Game
4 November, 2001
Author: Seizure
I wonder where my life is going
I'd like to see my blood stop flowing
I know I shouldn't just because I'm sad
But it's time I forget the life I had
So now I play the cutting game
But when I'm done, I feel the same
I know my entire life will only hurt
Until I have my place in the dirt
So I slice it up and peel it back
But it's funny how it's pain I lack
It doesn't matter, I'll dig deeper still
I'll keep going until it's me I kill
Don't cry for me because I said I would
The razor's on my wrist, now I act like I should

| Xeracy (204.113.161.185) -- Monday, January 6 2003, 07:31 pm Nice. I like dark and deep poetry. |
| zack (216.102.107.11) -- Wednesday, February 26 2003, 07:53 am its like you described exactly what im thinking and feeling its amazing |
| Leah (12.232.5.189) -- Monday, March 24 2003, 04:39 am This poem is verry different from the rest of them and i don't know why. Untill i find out all i have to say now is Good Job! |
| am ber h (205.188.209.101) -- Wednesday, April 9 2003, 05:30 am with you il share my personal dont cry for me in the you shouldve thought of that before yes i know its a sin but im happier now then i 've ever been so my life is over now the end i say with out a single trace be sides the blood and a smile on my face |
| Seizure (67.33.102.4) -- Wednesday, April 9 2003, 07:59 am Well, if I understood that comment correctly, you slit your wrists while looking at my poem. Or were you just attempting to write a poem that got poorly formatted due to the nature of the comment box in response to this work? Kinda hard to follow. |
| brandi (152.163.189.100) -- Friday, May 9 2003, 10:15 pm um like all ur work its good but do u have nothing positive to write about in ur life? i think u should focus on the positive a little. slitting ur wrists isnt something u should reccommend to others to get rid of ur pain b/c it doesnt. its not something u should be proud of and brag about its like a disease and its a shame that someone w/ so much talent has this disease. |
| RinRIn (24.25.61.26) -- Saturday, May 10 2003, 07:35 pm well i thought this poem was excellent (as usual, seizure!) and if this is what he feels he needs to write, then this is what he feels he needs to write, and no one should tell him not to. if it's honest, then i wouldn't criticize...honesty is essential sometimes when writing poetry...but anyways, wonderful work seizure! :) *RinRin* |
| Seizure (67.33.163.29) -- Saturday, May 10 2003, 10:52 pm Brandi, you don't like my subject matter, great. Don't read it then. What did you think you'd find in a poem entitled, "The Cutting Game?" I've had many people over the YEARS I've been here turn their opinion against me after they found one or two writings they didn't like... and if that's enough to make you dislike me or my work, then so be it. This is my personal view on it, so this is how I wrote it. How I'm promoting (much less bragging about) cutting is beyond me. I kinda thought this would turn people away from cutting... but then again that's just me. I write what I feel, nothing more, nothing less... and when I have something positive to write about... I'll be sure to let you know. RinRin, thanks for the kind words. |
| RinRin (24.25.61.26) -- Sunday, May 11 2003, 06:11 pm no prob, seizure! |
| Brandi (205.188.209.42) -- Monday, May 12 2003, 03:31 am haha u make me feel like an idiot. i cringed when i read what u wrote back to me. i almost didnt read it all. i think ur work is great dont get me wrong and i like reading it ur a good writer. its obvious uve been through a lot more than i can even dream of and honestly now that ive read what u said ive realized i have absolutely no room to talk. im very sheltered and havent been through the kind of stuff u write about. i wouldnt dislike someone for expressing what they feel or what theyve been through its just hard for me to see that u havent much that u can write about thats cheerful b/c i dont live the way u do. haha and ur right i shouldnt read poems entitled "cutting game" if i dont like that stuff. but dont take my opinion seriously im only 13 and havent veiwed much in the world yet. |
| Seizure (67.33.163.29) -- Monday, May 12 2003, 05:10 am The intention wasn't to make you feel like an idiot, nor was it to make you cringe. I only wanted you to see my perspective. You communicate your point much better than most people do. For only 13, I'm very impressed. You want to see something positive come out of me? Give me a subject and I'll get on it. I'll give it a shot. |
| Justus Isaiah Richardson (172.144.121.118) -- Monday, May 12 2003, 01:42 pm I think I would use a hair dryer or radio in the bathtub though. It does look a little more painful cause it cooks you, but it leaves no question about the dying part. If I were gonna off myself, that's the way I'd go. I wouldn't personally do it though. I wouldn't wanna take the chance that there really is a God waiting on the other side. Even when I didn't believe, the idea that He might be there kept me from, at least, killing myself. You're a good writer Seizure. Justus |
| Brandi (152.163.189.100) -- Monday, May 12 2003, 10:57 pm well seizure i think that what u write about is up to u and i dont want to force u into writing about things that u dont want to write about. everyone has at least a few happy moments in their life and maybe the next time u do you could simply write down what your feeling. and maybe then whenever your down you can look at that poem and remember that happy moment and smile. i know u didnt mean to make me cringe but the truth is that u write so well that there is no way anyone could put a good arguement up against u especially not me. thanx for saying that i express my opinions well. and u sure did show me your perspective. |
| Seizure (67.33.163.29) -- Tuesday, May 13 2003, 12:38 am Justus, personally... my way would be a shot through the base of the skull for the least painful way to die. But I see your point about not killing yourself "just in case." While I can't be too positive, that might be one of the reasons I've had apprehension in the past. Thanks for the compliment. Brandi, then I fear you will never see anything positive come out of me. My time is running short as it is, so when it's gone... it's gone. Thanks for at least understanding my perspective. I appreciate it. |
| Megzy (67.195.116.53) -- Tuesday, May 13 2003, 10:12 pm i loved it.... thats exactly how i felt the otha day. u express ur feelings very welll n poetry. i wish i could write liek that. =) well i hope u have a happy moment n ur life cuz i dont want u 2 be sad the hole time. well keep up the good work. |

| Lauren (209.204.89.86) -- Friday, July 18 2003, 02:26 pm Hey that poem is really good.. I can really relate to it |
| amberly (68.184.51.100) -- Saturday, August 23 2003, 05:01 am dude..this is the way i feel 100% of the time. i understand what u said when u say u have nothin positive to think about. everyday i struggle just to make it through. iv had suicide attempts. obviously, they failed. im just glad to know im not the only one who feels this way. |
| Shellie (81.99.96.205) -- Sunday, September 7 2003, 11:48 pm hey hey. i stumbled across your poem whilst looking for another poem i read on a message board months ago, but i have to say, i'm glad i came across yours instead. its deep, easy to connect to, and true. This piece is one of the best on the subject matter i've read. i just wish i could express my emotions as well as yours, my poetry cowers in your glory :) well done :) shellie xx |
