There's nothing worse

Than being clean for so long

And throwing it all down the fucking drain. 

I thought I was strong.

I thought I had overcome it. 

I thought all of the thoughts of slicing my skin 

And hurting myself

Had ceased. 

Boy, was I wrong.

Because of rejection,

I was put back into that mindset.

I was at work, too. 

Fuck it.

Scratch, scratch, scratch

With my nail onto my hand, 

I scratched until i broke skin.

I have a nice scab there,

But I'm ashamed to admit what it's actually from

To my parents.

Why 

Am I like this?

Why is relapse so fucking hard?
