Warning... The subject of self harm is in this poem if it triggers you in anyway please don't read this
Thank you

It's been months
You've gotten so much better
At least you thought
You thought you were healing
But then the feeling comes back
Like a slap in the face
You miss the feeling it gave you
The burning, tingly feeling
The slight pain at first
You miss it
You want it back
You know it's bad
It's wrong
You shouldn't do it
But the knife beckons you
Its like a drug
You want it on your skin so bad
But you've made a promise
So you stop
But you want that feeling again
You feel empty
You can't feel anything
You'll be normal
With
Just
One
More
Cut
One last time
I'll never do it again
I'm strong
But what could one more do
