I am a self injurer.
I wonder if I will ever be able to stop injuring.
I hear people make jokes and laugh about self injury, when there is nothing
funny about it.
I see myself in a mirror with scars on my body.
I want to one day stop injuring.
I am a self injurer.
I pretend that I am not depressed.
I feel like I am worthless, and that there isn’t a point in life.
I touch the scars upon my skin.
I worry that people at school will find out my secret.
I cry after I injure, wishing I wouldn’t have done it, but loving it
anyway.
I am a self injurer.
I understand what it is like to want to give up all hope.
I say that everything is OKAY when it’s really NOT.
I dream about a day when I don’t think about self injury.
I try not to injure, but it always seems to win the battle even when I don’t
want it to.
I hope that if I were to die tomorrow, that there would be something after
life.
I am a self injurer.
By: Katey KasowskiPlease feel free to leave comments. I got inspired to write this cause we did an I AM poem in English [I didn’t do this one], so I thought I would post one one here. 🙂
This is amazing , it’s so true.
That is how I always feel )’:
thanks for posting this katey. this is me but not who i want to be. i am tired of injuring and your poem helped me. thnx.
i like this. i think im going to try one of these “i am” poems in my journal
i’m glad you 3 like it. we had to do it for english class [i didnt do this one] so i thought i could do one about my self injury. it really helped me to calm down and to NOT injure, which is weird, cause i think this could be triggering to some people.

ahhh, i stoped as of july 11th and let me tell you all i want to do is injure. i hate the term self injure. i dont know why it has less meaning to me though. all i can say is stopping was one of the worse and the best things that ever happened to me. its not easy but you should really try, its almost been 2 months and its my greatest acomplisment. if you really want to stop let me know and ill do anything i can to help.
thanks, but lately, i dont really want to try to stop SI anymore. im tired of trying. i’ve lost all but a little bit of hope. i honestly dont know how much longer i can do this.
