Please hurt me
It helps me to feel
After the pain
I begin to heal

What was never there before
Born freshly from the wound
Just like the light from the Sun
Allows us to see the Moon

Opposing forces clash and bring
Something neutral and serene
Angel and Devil breed once more
The child of balance seen

Seethe from the anguish that I feel
Lick the wound and hide
Step into my world of dreams
Over clouds I glide

Then at last behind me
This horrible memory fades
I'm left with only the new dawn
Light revealing new shades

You must suffer for the cure
Suffer, then relief
Create, destroy, create once more
The cycle will repeat

There is no life without our deaths
No comfort without pain
Realize what must be done
And hurt me once again

B.G. 2006
Inspiration has struck me once again. It always comes as one single thought, "Please hurt me..." The only explanation I want to give for this poem is that it is not about self-mutilation or suicide, nor is it about sadism or masochism. As hard as it may be, open your mind a bit further. This subject has been touched on before by many artists, I'm sure. Most of you will probably recognize the most famous of these references - Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt." I am not a plageriser, this was an independent thought and became a poem before I realized the connection. So please keep your ignorant comments to yourself if they occur to you. I will not deny subconscious inspiration, as it exists in all of us. I hope you enjoy this poem. :)
