Just realized it is my skin I am carving
Once again I feel the blood run
Just realized that my flesh is hurting
Causing myself harm is no longer fun
Just realized that the cuts are scarring
I dread the thought of Monday’s PE
Just realized my short sleeves wont hide them
I cannot keep them covered, people will see
Just realized that it is an addiction
I try to stop but it is harder than it seems
Just realized that I am still awake
These cuts aren’t just memories of bad dreams
Just realized that I cannot end this
Maybe it is time people knew they were there
Just realized that it doesn’t matter
Even if they see them, no one will care
