Dear Ashton,

I'm tired of telling everyone "I'm fine"

Sure, I used to have friends, but that was before the self harm.

I found myself jerking away from their touch, as if their hand was dipped in poison.

I was terrified that they would find out, I was terrified that they would feel the scars beneath my clothing.

Maybe it was because I was scared, maybe it was because the slashes stung so bad to the touch.

They started drifting away from me.

They were scared of me.

I lived in constant fear.

I still do.

Im not fine Ashton.

I don't think I ever will be.

I started wearing more bracelets around my wrists.

While in classes my skin itches so bad, it itches for the blade.

I try to scratch the surface through my bracelets, but all it does is sting and burn.

I love the pain.

It's a feeling of release.

A feeling of release no one around me will understand.

Everyone hates me anyway, why does it matter.

My mother hates me, my peers hate me, I hate me.

It wouldn't matter if I cut a little too deep one day.

The only thing stopping me is you Ashton.

Why can't you be the one to save me.

Why can't you be here with me?

XO-Anabell
