Why Do I Cut?

by lonelydreamer   May 1, 2008


Why do I cut?

I don't want attention,
I don't want help,
I don't want sympathies,
I just want to be alone

Why do I cut?

If I cut for attention, then why
do I hide the scars so well
If I want help, then why
do I turn away from your hand
If I want sympathies, then why
do I ignore your words
If I didn't want to be alone, then why
do I lock my bedroom door

Why do I cut?

I cut to feel alive,
to know that I'm no ghost,
to know that I'm no shadow
but a human being

Why do I cut?

I cut to see the blood,
see it run down my arm and leg
I cut to feel a different pain,
pain that's not from the heart

Why do I cut?
I cut because I'm depressed
