Red

Red

Yes 

I​ ​cut​ ​myself. 

People​ ​ask, 

Where​ ​are​ ​they

I​ ​say​ ​​

Somewhere​. 

Because  

Why​ ​would​ ​I​ ​cut 

Where​ ​you​ ​can​ ​see? 

Another​ ​cut 

Another​ ​tear… 

Just​ ​another​ ​reminder 

That​ ​I​ ​can’t​ ​be​ ​saved. 

I​ ​hurt​ ​myself  

On​ ​the​ ​outside 

To​ ​kill​ ​the​ ​monster 

On​ ​the​ ​inside. 

Everyone​ ​thinks  

I’ve​ ​gotten​ ​better. 

They're​ ​wrong. 

I’ve​ ​just​ ​gotten​ ​better 

At​ ​hiding​ ​it 

That’s​ ​all. 

Here’s​ ​to​ ​the​ ​people 

Who​ ​go​ ​to​ ​bed 

With​ ​cuts​ ​on 

Their​ ​wrists 

And​ ​hate​ ​in 

Their​ ​hearts. 

I​ ​don't​ ​cut​ ​myself 

As​ ​a​ ​sign​ ​that​ ​I​ ​want 

To​ ​kill​ ​myself. 

I​ ​cut​ ​myself 

Because​ ​I’m​ ​trying 

So​ ​hard 

To​ ​stay​ ​alive. 

I​ ​hate​ ​being​ ​called 

Strong. 

I’m​ ​not​ ​strong. 

If​ ​I​ ​was​ ​so​ ​strong, 

I​ ​would​ ​have 

Never​ ​cut​ ​myself. 

I​ ​would​ ​have​ ​never​ ​tried 

To​ ​commit​ ​suicide. 

I​ ​wouldn’t​ ​have​ ​skipped​ ​meals 

Because​ ​some​ ​said 

I​ ​was​ ​fat. 

I​ ​wouldn’t​ ​have​ ​started 

This​ ​self-destructive​ ​cycle. 

So​ ​I’m​ ​not​ ​strong. 

I’m​ ​far​ ​from​ ​it 

Actually.  

And​ ​there​ ​is​ ​no​ ​escape. 

I​ ​can​ ​only​ ​take​ ​so​ ​much 

Pain.  

Until​ ​my​ ​body 

Is​ ​slowly​ ​overflowing. 

With​ ​hurtful​ ​words 

And​ ​repressed​ ​memories. 

Soon​ ​they’ll​ ​have  

No​ ​other​ ​way​ ​to​ ​escape. 

So​ ​I​ ​have​ ​to​ ​find​ ​places 

For​ ​the​ ​pain​ ​to​ ​bleed​ ​out 

From.
