Dedicated to one of the ones I love and that loves me in return
Why do I cut?
It has nothing to do with wanting to die…despite what people tend to believe. I don’t want to leave this world just yet, although I am anything but happy I do have happy moments. I have people that I love and people that love me in return…because of them I am still here….living each day one at a time trying to survive.
So the question remains……
Why do I cut?
Sometimes I would rather feel physical pain over any other kind
Why do I cut?
To remind myself that I am here living despite the pain
Why do I cut?
I need to see the scars to remind myself that I can get through anything
Why do I cut?
Because when the emotional pain becomes too overwhelming to bear I need a release
And as I watch the blood flow freely I feel as though my anxiety and despair escape with it
Does this make me crazy?
Maybe but I don’t think so. Of course everyone is entitled to their own opinions.
Just remember until you walk in my shoes, you can’t fully understand why….
