Family of self harm

by katie!   Apr 3, 2005


To all cutters do not be ashamed
Don't listen to the words of people that do not feel
They do not know what it is like to cut
When we slash open our arms, old cuts don't heal

We are not a minority, there are so many
Who feel the same way as you and I
People who have scars running all over there body
People who every day are longing to die

As the cutting begins to be an addiction to us
Nobody really seems to realise
Call us attention seekers and exclude us
No one cares about the crimson tears we cry

As we slit our wrists and cut our throats
These people they just go on with their lives
They pass us by in the streets everyday
They do not see, in our bags, the concealed knives

The razor blade cutting deep and true
A fresh wound stains our mutilated arms
As the blood runs fresh and warm from the cut
We are a family, the family of self harm
