Cutting

I never really understood it.

Why they did it.

Why I cared.

But then I realized

life is worth it.

Life is pure.

My best friend was cutting

and I couldn't stop it

To her, there was no cure.

I would yell and scream

I wanted her to understand it.

Why I couldn't be sure.

She was letting her life fall apart.

Because she did it.

Because she thinks she's not worth the hurt.

I want to hold her and tell her that she is.

But she never listens and she never did.

She still believes there's no help for her.

Why does a girl so great hate herself so much?

Why does she think she's not worth it?

Why does she wish for a better world?

Cutting isn't the way to go.

As I yell and scream and tell her to put it away and face it.

If she dies, from her misery, I'm afraid I won't be there to help her.

I refuse to stand and watch.

I refuse to make the measurements for her casket.

So she has two choices now, that will change her world, give her a cure.

Life or death, I say.

She can chose to live, and make her life how she wants it.

Or she can succumb to death and I won't even miss her.

She says she's been strong for way too long.

But that, is far from true because she can't see it.

From how I see it, she's been weak by making this her curse.

I've tried all I can think.

I've tried to make her get it.

But now all I can do is be sure.

That her life, she doesn't waste.

I won't sit around, and watch her slowly wither away with a blade on her wrist with blood caked.

I won't stick around to watch her.

She finally has a choice.

And I hope she makes it.

Because life without my best friend, well, that would be the true curse.

And I don't want to risk it.
