i started this thread to see if anyone wants to share SI poetry that they've written.

at least 2 other forums have a poetry thread (the bipolar and borderline forums), so let's try it here...
Thanks for this!

I'll go for it... I wrote this one after I broke a promise to stop... Definitely Triggering though...

Call it a burn
Call it some heat
Call it a burden
Call it defeat

Call it a cut
Call it some blood
Call in my tears
Call in for a flood

Call it intention
Call it design
Call it mistaken
Call it malign

Call it a breakdown
Call it a lie
Call it a meltdown
Please let me die

Call me disaster
Call me through hate
Call me right now
Hang up, it's too late...

I don't usually write poetry, but this is one I wrote a while back about telling someone about SI (or rather, my inability thereof).

We were standing in the metaphorical and literal dark
Cool breeze around us
You were ranting
And I was thinking but I didn’t know what to say.
You asked me things that I
Almost thought I had answers to
But not really,
And I could tell that you were disappointed
Even with the dark leaves in your face.
That one small dull fact
That one excuse
It was stupid.
Sorry that was the best I could come up with.
Because the truth was too hard.
You deserved to know and
I deserved to speak my mind
But something stopped me.
I was on the edge, I swear.
Even here, with no one watching
I’m so close but I just
Can’t say it out loud.

- AJ

Oh- I wrote this that same night... When I am unable to dance, I write, so this is the other one I have.

A broken promise
A broken heart
I wish I knew
Just where to start

I've said it before
I've said it to you
I only make a promise
If I can come through.

I made a promise
That for only tonight
I would keep myself safe
I would fight that fight

No harm should have come
Especially to me
I broke that promise
I messed up, you see

It wasn't on purpose
I promise you that
But what does that mean,
since my promise fell flat?

A moment of distraction
Was all it took
I cut my finger
My whole world shook

It wasn't much..
It barely bled
But how can you ever
Believe what I've said?

A broken promise
A broken heart
I wish I knew
Just where to start

@aj. I know exactly what you mean... You know exactly what you have to say, but you just can't let it out. It sucks, it really does...

Thank you!!

I actually get really confused trying to navigate this site, so I tend to stick to the SI section and the bpd section.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
