I will open this critique with a piece from a poem about self harm by a man named Amar Qamar (no copyright infringement inntened):

It calls me closer, its calls me near
"Just once and it'll be over"
Death whispers in my ear
Irresistible is its sweet entice
Staring down, which one to slice,
I observe my previous tries
My unseen hurt and earlier cries
No peace in my mind, no peace in my head
The quiet intelligent me, long since fled
Anger and rage consumes me
My minds demons bursting to be free
The walls of my cage finally cave
"Just be still, just be brave"
I slash down with an improvised knife
"Forget this world, forget my life"
Blood oozes and drips down the drain
A slight tingle but no real pain
A Calmness comes over me
My last attempt please, it's got to be

This picture not only is a very well drawn one but also has an impact to people as it is for self harm awareness day. MurphyCory is (I belive) 1 of the best artists on deviantart and this drawing keeps up those high standards.

yeah I think though that could be because it's almost taboo to speak of which it shouldn't be we need to be more aware of SH to help those that need it and not judge those people that do as they are doing it for some reason or another and in all they need the help but even with help it doesn't mean a person will stop doing it after all its their life and we should all get to choose to an extent anyway how we choose to live our lives so not judge those that are different as I've been their as you probably know its no fun to be judge over something triaval or well personal if that makes sense. Get our schools and colleges and even places of work more awear of SH

Juniperberryy In reply to murphycory [2012-03-01 20:43:52 +0000 UTC]

No it's become something that in some groups of people is 'cool' to do and people do it just to fit in with their friends which isn't right and other people just laugh and make jokes about it when it really isn't a funny matter :/

murphycory In reply to Juniperberryy [2012-03-01 20:51:22 +0000 UTC]

i completely agree, people, especially the guy joke bout self harm and its just like ugh stop already, and yes i dont see why someone would think slef hamr is 'cool' its not

Juniperberryy In reply to murphycory [2012-03-01 20:54:52 +0000 UTC]

No it's really not, it's sad that people do that to themselves
and joking about it is just insensitive and mean
people like that really anger me
and worry me that they think finding it funny is okay

Juniperberryy In reply to murphycory [2012-03-01 21:03:05 +0000 UTC]

Yeah because anyone could do it
and yeah it was the same at my school, stupid Justin Bieber

yeah it really is, and i ahte the whole stereotyped 'emo' and 'attention seeker'

Juniperberryy In reply to murphycory [2012-03-01 21:09:12 +0000 UTC]

yes, that's one of the worst parts
and quite a lot of people clearly aren't attention seeking because they try and cover the cuts and scars
but they still get labeled that, even by people they don't know

murphycory In reply to Juniperberryy [2012-03-01 21:11:32 +0000 UTC]

people can be so judgmental
anything could have happened to the person
some people don't even consider that

murphycory In reply to Juniperberryy [2012-03-01 21:15:46 +0000 UTC]

Juniperberryy In reply to murphycory [2012-03-01 21:20:06 +0000 UTC]

it's stupid, there are so many things that could have happened to them to cause them to do something like that people just don't think :/
