I never did it because I was asking for attention.
I never did it because I thought it was "cool."
I never did it because "other people were."
I did it because I was so damn lonely in a crowded room it hurt.
I did it because while my life was pure chaos , I could control that.
I did it because I was so numb to everything around me I forgot what it was like to feel.
I did it because no matter how many times I promised I wouldn't do again , another train full of issues and heartbreak hit my head on.
I did it because no matter how loud I screamed , I was just a whisper to everyone else.
I did it because I was desperate, I needed to know I was alive , even though I felt like a walking corpse , it was the only way I knew I was breathing.
