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.
