Catch 22

by Baby Rainbow   May 2, 2013


Just one little cut,
one little cut,
so I can feel the pain;
the pain I deserve
for never being
good enough again.

But one little cut,
just one little cut,
will be letting you down again.
So one more cut,
then one more cut,
because I really deserve the pain.

    Hugs you. You know I'm always here...if you need a chat,
    You deserve the best happiness, but I know how hard the spiral is to break, you'll get through this.
    You don't deserve the pain, from cutting or otherwise, babe...you're amazing

    Very clever title, I'm pretty sure the phrase catch 22 means something like, damned if you do, damned if you don't...am I correct? I could be totally wrong.

    You feel like you deserve the pain, but if you cut, you will disappoint the person, maybe you made a promise not to cut again... so either way, it's a no win situation. You either don't get the release of feeling deserving of pain... or you let the person you love down.

    Very well thought out piece! Love it.

    You took something of a cliche and made it unique.
