Remember

I remember that day.

I remember the fear of getting caught.

I remember how shaky my hand was.

I remember the feeling of it in my hand.

I remember the emptiness I felt.

I remember the voices in my head.

I remember what they said to me.

I remember how lost I felt.

I remember how alone I felt.

I remember the feeling of it gliding across my skin.

I remember the blood slowly sliding down my leg.

I remember the pain from it.

I remember how it took everything else away.

I remember how I got addicted to it.

I remember the day I said I'll stop.

I remember the day I told my mother.

I remember the look in her eyes when I told her all I've done to myself.

I remember how she held me tight and said I'd be okay.

I remember how she said she'd love me no matter what.

I remember the day I promised her I'd tell her everything no matter what.

I'll always remember what I've done.

Even if I don't want too.

The scars will always remind me.

Even six years later.

I still remember it all.

Like it was yesterday.
