I am a Victim

Unwanted Attention pt1

You may say,

"I don't see any cuts."

But why would I cut when you can see it?

I hide all my scars with "I'm fine".

I hide all my cuts with "it's nothing."

I don't hurt myself for attention.

If I had wanted you to know,

I would've done it in front of your face.

I wouldn't have closed the bedroom door.

Or hide my tool.

I wouldn't lock myself in the bathroom.

I wouldn't wear long sleeves in the summer,

Or wear bracelets to cover my wrists.

I wouldn't do it in places where I think no one's looking,

Where I won't feel ashamed.

I wouldn't run away when you asked to see it,

Or even try to blend in.

I wouldn't keep everything from you if what I'm doing is for attention.

It just so happens,

You found out,

Probably by accident,

So don't get involved.
