Dont Lable Me

The life of a cutter
no one can explain
why they hurt themselves
to help cure their pain
the life of a cutter
no one ever knows
why they do what they do
here's how it goes
they wake up every morning
into a world of hate
not wanting to go on
not wanting to meet their fate
they walk around all day
being ridiculed and taunted
the feeling of happiness
is all they ever wanted
they try to sleep at night
but they're afraid of dreaming
scared of the haunting nightmares
scared to wake up screaming
the life of a cutter
no one can understand
all they want is to be loved
all they need is a helping hand
the life of a cutter
is no life at all
to never be able to get up
to stay down when you fall
the life of a cutter
is a terrible twist of fate
to have to cut your skin away
to let go of all your hate
the life of a cutter
no one can explain
why they hurt themselves
to help cure their pain
Don't label me a cutter
Until you know the reason behind my self inflicted pain
It isn't for the attention
It like I'm a cloud and my blood is the pouring rain
Don't go by what you hear about me
Unless you hear it straight from my lips
I don't cut because its trend
Attention isn't the reason my blood drips
I know what its like to see someone and judge
Ive done it many times my self
But then I came to realize that all I was doing
Was making the subject of my judgment life hell
Don't think I like the way I treat myself
But it is my only way to cope
Cutting isn't something you can just give up
It is an addiction just like dope
Do you think I like to see the scars?
To be reminded of the days when I cut my own skin
So I wear long sleeves and cover them up
Because if people like you don't see then I wont have to let anyone in
So to anyone who is reading this
Understand the story before you judge the book
Because cutters are just like everyone else
You will notice that if you just stop and look
