Why do I cut?

 My body lays on the edge

Of sanity and insanity

My mind is screaming out

But there is no one to help

I need a release

I need a blade

Many don’t understand cutting

And they think it a joke

Saying “Cutter are crazy” or

“You should just slit your wrist and jump off a bridge.”

They don’t understand those words hurt

Your words make them think you don’t care

There is more than likely one person around you that cuts and you have no clue.

Your words make them think

“If they don’t care why should I stop?”

I hear it all day

And guess what

I’m one of those girls that sit there in class and you have no clue.

You make fun of it

Don’t worry you’re not the only one

But that doesn’t make it right

Do you want to know why I cut?

I cut because it helps numb the pain

I cut because at times I feel nothing at all

And I wonder if I’m really alive.

I cut trying to wipe the slate clean.

I cut to forget my past.

I cut because I blame myself for my past.

I cut because it’s addicting

Once you start its hard to stop.

I cut because I hate myself.

Why do I hate myself?

I hate myself because of the years of abuse,

Because of the years of bullying

Because I blame myself for my past

Because I think I’m ugly

Because I hate what I do

Because I hate my life.

I am nowhere near perfect.

I walk around with a fake smile,

Masking all the pain away.

You have no clue how much destruction I’ve caused myself.

Most of the time I think I’m invisible

But the thing is I’m not the only one.
