Oh darling
You don't need that blade
Staring at you.
No matter how much you want the relief
It really breaks you down more.
Honey
Hang in there
Don't let a piece of metal
Determine your strength.
I know
That things haven't been right for awhile
They've been horrible actually
& that razor blade in front of you
Takes your mind off of the pain
But listen to me
When I tell you
That it's not worth it.
That blade right there?
It's addicting
You crave it whenever you aren't using it
It rules your entire life
As soon as you make that first cut
You're hooked.
I am honest
When I say
There are much better ways to cope
Easier ways to feel alive
Things that make it
So you don't have to use that
To give your pain a reality.
As you're sitting there
Shaking uncontrollably
Wishing to tear up your arm
With something so beautiful
Yet so deadly
Just remember
I love you
I care
& if you don't do it
After all the urges
I am proud of you.
