self harm

1 cut - to try and stop the pain

2 cuts - to try and forget the shame

3 cuts - to try and feel the same

4 cuts - trying to hide, forget the fame

5 cuts - to try and make the pain go

6 cuts - to try and stop feeling so low

7 cuts - to try and cope

8 cuts - what happened to the hope?

now your in so deep,

you find it difficult to sleep

your now addicted,

which makes you feel conflicted

you begin hiding,

constantly lying

you try to smile,

even if it is just for alittle while

you regret it now,

but you can't stop - you dont know how

I see your pain,

but don't feel shame

one day,

you can look back and say,

you fought a battle and won,

that time in your life is now done

you are a fighter,

getting it off your chest may make yourself feel lighter

your scars are battle wounds,

to show you didnt give up so soon

you can do it,

you can make it

they say 'if your not happy its not the end,'

the past is something you cant mend

but in the end it will be worth it,

you will be done with all this shit

one day your smile will be less fake,

there will be much more you can take

one day it will all be better,

one day you will feel better
