A Girl and Her Knife

Deeply she cuts On her sides Releasing her pain In red form. The knife her release of pain too deep Day by day no one sees this pain she carries so very deep. Lovely smile with frowning eyes of the lies shes told. At home its hell Her dad loves the drink And doesn’t think of the pain he inflicts with each sip he takes upon his little girl Her mother gone And sadly missed. Alone is she with nothing but her knife To release her pain Deep inside!

My intention was to convey pain she was feeling from loneliness and not being appreciated. Not from physical or verbal trauma. I have friends who do this because they feel utterly alone and invisible. I embellished their story a bit but I think I conveyed the emotional trauma they feel that makes them do this to themselves.. hopefully. I'm sorry if I caused anyone pain.

Too many out there and the bastards who caused the problem walk away scot free from as liberal judicial system. I've worked with about 150 cutters, all beautiful kids, all abused by the animals supposed to be taking care of them. God Bless. Vince
