cat scratches
you blame the cuts on the cat
hiding your blade behind your back
one scratch
two scratch
three scratch
the pain leaks down your arms
the force of your life dripping from your body
you contemplate ending it
to just let yourself go
no one will miss you anyways
right?
wrong.
you will be missed
your parents will think it is their fault
your sibings broken
your friends will think of you when they see things you used to do
no one will forget you
the cat you blame your scratches on will wonder where you went
so put the blade down
stop scarring your flesh and your soul
throw the blades away
go get help
they are there for you to go to
your mother
father
brother
sister
best friends
people who love you
will miss you
so drop the blade
and bandage your pretty little arms
