Throw Away the Blades
I have cut….. and I am trying to overcome self harm. But if it makes you feel better why stop?
Well yea it makes you feel better for like five minutes but is it really worth it?
What do you do after the pain is gone?
When I first cut myself i was dealing with a break up and I thought I will just cut this once it
wont happen again. I was wrong it slowly spreads taking over your skin, brain then your life.
People find out…. and rumors spread. People try to stop you but you say they
don’t understand and push them away but you promise them you will stop anyway but you do
it again. You’re addicted to the pain and anyone who will try to stop you will be ignored.
You don’t know that you’re doing this but your'e making it easy to let go of this world by
blocking people from your life. It’s a scary road that I wish I didn’t go down you can’t escape
or run back to being happy you have to continue down that same road but stronger than ever.
In the end you’re left with these scars... a story is told with every cut and word you cut into
your skin. No not everyone will understand but just promise me and mean it that tonight or
ever you won’t cut.
