Push it down
Harder
Feel the burn
Linger
Open your mouth
Silently
Make the mark
Again
Take away the
Confusion
Un-cloud your
Thoughts
Forget the emotional
Pain
See all the
Scars
Remember every little
Moment
Wait while red
Stops
Put the sharp
Away
Until you cut
Again.

As a former self harmer myself, this poem really resonates with me and illustrates the struggle that a cutter has within themselves. Thank you for posting this. I hope you are okay. There is always a better future ahead if you so choose it.

Thanks for commenting and I'm glad you like it and that it struck a chord within you :) And don't worry, I'm 6 months clean from my last relapse.
