Depression Days: A Book Of Poems #Wattys2016

Poem 6

My friends ask why I cut...
It makes me feel less pain inside
When I drag the blade across my skin
It feels so good...
Makes me feel alive...
The scars?
I love them but hate them
That's why as they fade
I find myself making new ones
People say its for attention
But..
Why would I harm myself..
Just for attention?
