Pain Is There

for the pain is there so i feel i know for the cut is real it covers the past like a blanket for if i don't cut i won't forget it tried drugs and alcohol but they did not do anything at all thought taking my life would help but they ended up saving this whelp i had nobody who could of saved me when i told i unfortunately became a detainee started getting crafty with each cut pin strip lines, art somewhat now i am 58 and my life is new don't know, how i grew but i was able to talk about the abuse and in my heart i made a truce i was able to forgive the predator and fall in love with my creator not saying that this will work for you but today i am nobodies fool
