Learning To Live

I used to be a cutter
i used to like the blood
I'd feel a sense of relief
when i saw it start to flood

i learned all different ways
that i could scar my skin
but it always caused a loss
i couldn't seem to win

and so i began to search
for a way to stop the cuts
a place where i could go
and learn not to be so nuts

the first few places i went
didn't really work
in fact, the more i tried
the more i felt berserk

finally i heard of a place
a program at Linden Oaks
called Self Abuse Finally Ends
i could be like other folks

so now I'm here at SAFE
seeing how much i can give
I'm learning to be sane
I'm learning how to live
