Let It Slide

Posted Sep 19, 2025 · 37 lines · 2 critiques

When I start feeling low you see

There is only one thing I need

When blade and skin collide

I let it slide

Let it slide

Nothing like the feel

Of cold steel

When I need to heal

I don't want to take a pill

When I start feeling low you see

There is only one thing I need

When blade and skin collide

I let it slide

Let it slide

Read the rest of the poem Show less

I always wear long sleeves

That way no one can see

The scars that are on me

How I set my pain free

I know one night I'll go to deep

Won't wake up when I fall asleep

Then maybe people will see

All the pain I had in me

When I start feeling low you see

There is only one thing I need

When blade and skin collide

I let it slide

Let it slide

When I start feeling low you see

There is only one thing I need

When blade and skin collide

I let it slide

Let it slide

Let it slide

Let it slide

Let

It

Slide

"that you are not as hard-hearted as you imply. You have enough of a heart to be disappointed in not having a love. Truly, a poem in the manner of Jim Morrison, one of your favorite poets. Nicely done sir. ~ Geez. ."

About Me

About me

I am from El Paso Texas. My depression is layering on top of me more and more until I feel like I can no longer breathe. My past catches up with me like a ghost rider on a pale horse overtaking me. The only light I had has melted away like a candle that will never burn again. For you see I feel my future lies buried in my past that over shadows my present. I do not know how much longer I can live in this plastic world made up of plastic people as my plastic dreams start to melt away into insomniac nightmares. In the world I must exist in I keep trying to hide like a ghost in the walls. From this state of depression is where I write my poems.
