Loneliness

just a pinch just a scratch just a graze don’t worry about that just a mark just a burn here is where this takes an evil turn mummy doesn’t kiss my cuts better anymore or help me sleep like she did before instead i’m all alone on the bathroom floor with a razor in my hand, just one more? -unKnown Person

Having worked with a student who used to self harm I am chocked up reading your lines Keiera. she has a troubled upbringing when her parents separated and told me she did to 'so she knew she was still alive' so often parents aren't aware as the marks are covered up with long sleeves:-( hugs Jan xx

i am so sorry to hear that but i’m glad i could write something that you could touch you in this way. for me, self harm is an outlet and a hard addiction to quit, i always intend to explain my feelings through words as i tend to keep my mouth closed more than i should... sending hugs back - keiera xx

this one is too real... my parents caused most my pain, they never saw the cuts, never knew even when they went to their graves...it was well hidden... hugs!

i am so sorry to hear that. that must be very upsetting and heartbreaking for you to have had to go through. i hope you aswell as those cuts have healed... you deserve happiness. sending hugs - keiera xx
