A Cutter's Lesson! A Poem by L.C. Bellami;

     

          ~ A cutters lesson ~

Sometimes the pain is too much to deal

Sometimes the pain won’t let you heal

Pick up the blade and press it in

A few small cuts upon my skin

Blood seeping from my torn flesh

A little taste of coming death

Now I forget the pain inside

Just for a while I can hide

The pain outside of my own head

Has left me numb as I lie in bed

A few small cuts upon my skin

They keep me sane, they hold it in

As I bleed it pours away

All the pain I felt today

Every bloody line a trail

Every row a story tells

The scars are like a holy writ

And sometimes like a movie script

But eventually the cuts just fail to work

No longer numb to all the hurt

If only I could gather the pain they took

And use it to kill with just a look

I would kill and kill again

I would give away my sin

So as I pen this, thanks again

To the few small cuts upon my skin

..........

Note: there was a period of time when I was in high school and dealing with a lot that I went through a lot of stupid things; cutting for one example! It worked for a while and distracted me from all the pain; at least for a few minutes at a time. The pain outside was easier to deal with than the pain inside! But it doesn’t last! Only a path of true healing which leads one to wholeness will last! So if you are currently a cutter, and are so for the purpose of not dealing with your pain….put down the razor blade or whatever you are using and go get some real help for yourself or at least find a better way to deal! Cutting is just stupid…and since I used to be that kind of stupid I can say something about it! The lesson that cutting taught me was that there are no easy fast roads to real healing! You have to take time to actually deal with things. This lesson is a huge and very great lesson in life! If you are a cutter, I hope perhaps I can help you learn this lesson!

Healing is possible! Reach out to someone, find the path to healing and wholeness! Don't give up and Don't ever give in! Help is all around us if we just ask for it!

Celebrate.....Let your heart dance and make merry......For God will give you the Oil of gladness and fill your heart with great Joy, Faith, Hope, Love, and Peace! Kindness and Mercy are his to dispense, and he gives them freely to all who seek it! Everlasting Friendship is in his power and he will give that unto you! Turn your heart to him and lay your burdnes down at his feet, at the base of his throne and he will lift you up higher than you have ever imagined you could be!

^{Matthew 11: 28}  Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. ²⁹ Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. ³⁰ For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.

Find one thing a day that is Good in the world and cherish it, hold on to it, let it prove to you that Love is real and attainable, and be grateful for it with all that you are!!! That is how you will find a road out of your sorrow and into Joy!
