Cutting
Where Shadows Cry
she came to a place where shadows cry
silenced tongue sings no relief, no sigh
draws only sorrow nigh
steps unseen on a fogged covered ground
a broken heart beat, the only sound
solace sought but not found
playing where the shadows hide
staying where the shadows chide
a cutting blade lashes at her soul
it bleeds her heart, taking on control
her inner light it stole
a searing scream begging for release
the red drops fall, the pain will not cease
sting of wounds brings no peace
falling where the shadows dwell
calling where the shadows yell
now a calmness seed drops in her head
a ray of strength leading heart, it said
come follow me instead
some scars are left where anger was placed
in her mind’s eye, some sanity disgraced
bitter lessons now faced
burning from the shadows rip
turning from the shadows grip

Caused me to cringe/flinch a bit; well done. Kudos on trying to bring attention to such a problematic issue.

serious stuff madi, however, i reckon this would make a great t-shirt.
it’s a very clever design! ;-) xox
Sheila Pasket
It is a very serious topic, and it needs to be dealt with. People need to know more about it. Great job bringing it out in the open. You should put a little “blurb” on the side about how it effects ppl. good job

Chilling. So sad. Great work.

Such a dirty little secret….funny it does ease the anguish for awhile….luckily I grew up and learnt other ways, people should be more open about this, quite a few of us out there with the scars...........

I’m always shocked when I hear people laughing and making jokes about cutting, like that’s become the accepted way to talk about it nowdays. Well done with this image!

Very powerful. Very moving… Incredibly telling. I tried to touch upon this sensitive scene in my Darkness and Pain image, and its interesting to see how stillness can portray itself so loudly. A bold image indeed.

I love this Style, this is what i do most of my work in, i drew a pic close to this last week, i just posted it. Also alot of my older poetry is cuting related, must ppl dont understand unless they’ve been there. Kudos.
Madison Ellis replied
Thanks for looking, i’ll go check out yours! Yeah, you’re right most people don’t understand, most just think bad about those who do it, instead of taking the time to understand!

Excellent work!
eyelinertears
this is really nice and actually quite sad. I’m what people call “emo” and cutting just makes everything worse, so you’re very accurate with this artwork.
Azzurra
