Cuts

June 19, 2013

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.

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.

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.
