Strong enough

TW: self harm
Strong enough to stay clean for a day

Not strong enough to stay clean for a week 

Strong enough to not pick up the knife and use it

Not strong enough to walk away 

Strong enough to smile through the pain of scabs

Not strong enough to stop causing them

Strong enough to stop doing 

Not strong enough to stop thinking 

Strong enough to know I need help

Not strong enough to ask for it

Strong enough to stay clean for a month

Not strong enough to stay clean for a year

Strong enough to get stronger
