Another year has come to pass.
And even though I've felt the itch.
I've ignored it each time.
I've ignored the calling of it.
And pushed back the thoughts of needing it.
Another year has come to pass.
And I'm still going strong.
Last year was hard, I won't even lie.
I did almost go back to it.
But I promised myself I wouldn't.
Another year has come to pass.
And even thought my scars remain.
I will not be adding anymore.
I will however continue to add art onto my skin.
To replace the memories of those time.
Another year has come to pass.
And I don't need the blade to feel anymore.
Another year I count as a victory.
A/N today is a big day to me, today January 30th will mark seven years of not cutting. On this day all those years ago I decided after cutting a little to deep and realizing right then if I continued I'd end up take my life that I would never take a blade to my skin again. And it's been hard it really has, and I won't lie when I get really stressed and my anxiety spikes up I sometimes want to go back. But I ignore that feeling and push through it.
Anyway thanks for reading, and much love. -skellington_girl95
