Is It True That Time Heals

I sleep more often,
My dreams are better than reality. 
Lately I've had the audacity to put the blade down. 
Starving for perfection,
Can't stand to see my reflection. 
I want the pain I got from cutting 
I promised them I wouldn't let a blade touch my skin
They say killing myself would be a sin 
But I am already in hell
I guess only time will tell...

By reading this makes me want to write a poem about this problem. Cutting will not solve your problem. It will remind your future self of the mistakes you made when you were young. Your not alone, you can stop. Hang in there. :o)
