There's a girl
She doesn't know how to handle things
Everything's spiralling out of control...
Sometimes she can convince herself she's not really alive...
Maybe she's in a nightmare...
... and she just can't wake up?
You would never guess her secret if you knew her
She hides it so well...
She seems so happy...
Do you want to know the secret?
She cuts herself
She doesn't know why
And she doesn't understand why she resolved to it
But one thing she does know...
She can't stop
But why?
When she feels out of control...
Overwhelmed with emotion...
Cutting helps her calm down and able to think...
But at the same time...
When she feels so numb...
Empty...
Cutting helps her feel alive even for a minute
She didn't have an easy childhood
There were always arguments...
Always giving...
... Never receiving
And she never felt good enough...
... Important enough
Who would care if I self harm?
Everyone's better off without me
That's what she told herself each day
She was everything
She was despised
Sometimes she would sit in her room crying...
A razor blade in her hands at the ready...
Hearing the laughter from downstairs...
She'd never felt more alone...
... And yet no one noticed?
She just wanted a hug...
Someone to love her and tell her everything's gonna be okay...
And that they care
So why didn't they?
Sometimes she thought about dying
Just taking a load of pills...
... And ending everything
She would never do it, but sometimes she really wanted to
Who would care after all... right?
She was only 12
A lonely and misunderstood girl
By the time she was 13...
... Her body was covered in scars and cuts
She just wanted to be loved
Was that too much to ask?
She always tried to be everyone else's idea of perfect...
That she completely lost who she was
She lied to her friends and family
Just so she wouldn't see the tears of disappointment in their eyes
She wanted someone to understand...
To care...
But it didn't happen
Who knows if she ever escaped from self harm?
Who knows if anyone ever cared for her?
One day, you might even realise you've known her all along...
That bubbly girl that tells you her cat scratched her...
... Could be hiding it all under a smile
She wants someone...
Needs someone
There's a girl
Do you want to know her secret?
She self harms
So help her
Cause that's all she wants...
Needs.
Can you guess who she is?
