~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I watch as the scars continue to multiply

It just started as one or two

But now there are too many to count

I can't seem to stop

No matter how hard I try

I just can't

The cold feeling when blade meets skin

It feels so good

As I feel the blood drip down my arm

I realize what I just did

Why...

Why can't I stop

I thought I had stopped

But now I can't seem to live without it

I don't even remember how it started at this point

Why haven't I ended all the pain

Am I that scared of what it would do to people

That must be it

I'm scared

I'm scared of what people would think if they knew

I'm scared of hurting people

I'm scared to leave the people I care about

But I'm also scared of continuing on with life
