Walking down the hall
one day at school
she dropped her razor
out of her hand
onto the floor in front of everyone
she looked down and watched it hit the ground
before she picked it up
she looked around wondering who saw
a guy walked by
and asked to see her wrist
she hesitated for a while
then showed him a quick glance
at first he didn't know what to say
then respond quickly
saying "you shouldn't do that"
"you should try to stop"
she walked away with tears in her eyes
he kept trying to talk to her
but every time he tried
she pushed him away
a few days later
he talked to her and she listened
she wanted to cry
but he stood strong for her
he asked why then there was a silence
she said she didn't know why
it just helped and she couldn't explain
he told her to try and that she could trust him
her secret was safe with him
a few weeks later they became best buds
he asked her to see her wrist
she showed him with no hesitation
the marks were scad
but there wasn't any new wounds
she stopped for him
and gained a true friend
all because one person cared
