  I wanna say I'm sorry. To all the people I promised I wouldn't self harm. To the people I told I was doing better. To my therapist that I don't tell everything to.
  I'm sorry that I couldn't keep up the promise that I wouldn't harm myself. It was just to tempting. Now I'm kinda addicted to the sting it gives me after, and the fact that I only put a band aid on after just because I don't like the way my clothes leave fuzzy bits on it. I'm sorry that even though it hurts and I feel so fucking guilty after wards, every time I see it or feel how much it hurts it becomes a little to tempting to do again.
  I'm sorry to the people I made believe I was do better. I said that because it made you happy. That you didn't have to worry how I was doing as much anymore. That I was sleeping ok and eating ok. That maybe I was happy to be awake that day. I wasn't but I hated making you worry about me as much as I did. I hated how I probably made you feel like your walking on egg shells on my bad days. I'm sorry and I hope one day when I say I'm doing better it won't be a lie anymore.
  I'm sorry to my therapist that I sometimes lie to. I know I shouldn't but you seem happy when I don't have to see you as often or when the session gets to be happier topics. I'm sorry that I don't always tell the full truth sometimes but i get scared that if I do that I'm gonna be told how bad I truly am. I'm sorry that I have gotten to comfortable being numb, it feels safer that way.
  I'm just sorry to the people I plague their lives. I'm sorry that I put such a burden on you. I'm sorry that sometimes I depend on you to much. I'm sorry that I'm not trying as hard as I said that I would.
  I'm tired and don't feel like trying anymore.
