Self-Harm

Her eyes are full of secrets no one will know She wears long sleeves so the scars won't show at first it was by choice but now I can't take control  scars on my wrist as well on on my soul  They had even made their way to my forearm  Not any drug is as addicting as self-harm  The only time I can actually think Is when I watch my blood go down the sink though the power to stop is not guaranteed  Doing this is my one chance to feel free It may seem like I just want to die But that is the opposite to what this implies I did my best to prove to you that I exist I even painted pretty cuts on my wrist So go ahead,laugh and be mean Your voices haunt me as I bleed I smile as if I'm just so amused  So no one suspects me of my abuse Funny thing is that no one defines  I'm lying every time I say I'm fine The problem has reach to the extreme  Can't any hear or notice my screams I never knew the thing that's keeping me alive Has been secretly killing me this entire time Please take my razors,the whole pack And promise you will never give them back

Cutting is serious. I like your poem and the way you have described what it us like. My fdaughter said it was the only thing she felt, when she would cut and burn. But it hurts more than the cutter.
