Does anyone see beauty in poems of cutting? Everytime I read them his tingle runs through my body. Not a bad tingle, just this feeling of how beautiful the action is. How as they describe watching the blood flow down there arms you feel that peace you only feel when you are the one doing it. I can't help but feel that this feeling is wrong. But everything seems to flow so smoothly. Images floating through my brain. Now I'm babbling. I have to go. I just wondered if any of you feel that too as you read those exquisite poems about something that seems so wrong.

Icky,

As I'm sure you already know, when the body is injured or stressed or put into an "adrenaline-like" state, the brain releases natural opiates and other chemicals.

These chemicals trigger an actual reaction in the body, similar to those of synthetic narcotics.

Although not proven, it is suggested that when a person cuts, the body releases these chemicals and a "euphoria" takes over.

This is still all speculation, but there is good reason to suspect something chemical is occurring. Interestingly enough, these chemicals can also become addicting to the body.

Just reading about it can trigger these responses. Sounds like that might be what's happening?

I'm pretty sure what you are describing is the addictive essence of the self harm.
