Oh wow. I so feel this. For me I used my arms legs chest and thighs. This poem has slot I can relate to. Very good job |
I like it. people piss me off when they say it's for attention. Actually, it's a release, a way of coping, and a very silent cry for help. so those of you who think you know anything about self harm, bull shark. because you won't get it until you have done it, until you are in that place yourself. it takes so much to push a person to the point where they want to end their life. it's not about attention, it's about trying to cope with your inner demons, the pain you cant get rid of in any other way. I don't expect you to understand that if you haven't done it. For a girl who has cut herself for eight years, I should know. It was always my side or my knee, making it look like I fell to cover it up. It's a release. |

It WAS a release. An outlet. But for me it almost let to something more permanent. For my best friend it did. Now its 10 years later and the "writing" on my skin is gone, time has been a great bandaid. It only itches when I think about it. |

I think its about the illusion of control. Control the pain. Control when it ends. When you're in that place itsl like standing in front of a brick wall and you cant see the happiness on the other side. You're exhausted from trying to climb it. Battered from trying to break through it. And not in the right state of mind to realize all you have to do is go around. Been there friend. |
