I see the crimson
river, flowing from
my veins.

My lifeblood, draining
out of my cursèd
body.

The pain is
nothing new.
There is too
much other pain
for me.

The knife slides
easily over my wrist,
slicing open the
fragile barrier.

They look on
horrified that I
could do this.
But they do not
understand
as I sigh with relief
and pleasure.

This pain, this
raw, bodily pain,
numbs the hurts inside.

When I feel the pain,
I can deal with the
world, again.

I've never cut myself, BTW. "I" in the poem is not me.

Since you never did it yourself, I can give you some insight about the subject: people who do that feel extremely sad and numb as they have to deal with a lot of emotional pain and sorrow for various reasons (love matters, acceptance,...). They want some relief, they want to stop thinking for a moment and just feel something else. Feel alive, feel a rush. And the scars it leaves are a reflection of the ones in their minds.
