Look over that edge and fly angel, spread your wings and dive into the oceans below. Breathe in the water, be forever, be in the moment. Don't scream my child, for your time has come. Shush now, close your eyes. The clouds will aid you, the light will amaze you. Shush now, you are safe, you are sound. Shush now... and fly up to the skies. 

▪This is a story of how it feels trying to stop self harming. This shows the thoughts of some who self harm and the struggles some might go through.▪

Cold Water by adaline_meadows

[BWWM] I was only twelve years old when the world turned cold. The day my mom died in that car accident, I felt like someone had dumped a bucket of ice water over my heart. My dad, who had always been my hero, suddenly became a stranger, filled with rage and blame. He couldn't see that I was hurting, too; he only saw me as a reminder of his loss. The accusations cut deep. He said it was my fault for being there, for not doing something to save her. For being the reason she was in the car in the first place. In the years that followed, things only got worse. The abuse started gradually-a harsh word here, a shove there-but it escalated, leaving scars that I carried long after the physical pain faded. I was drowning in my own despair, struggling to keep my head above water while my father's anger raged like a storm around me. I only had a break from his anger when I started living with Aunt Dina-my mom's older sister. Well, that was because she found me nearly dead on my bed after I took a dozen pills. I was tired of living. I had hit rock bottom. The harsh whispers that followed me around and the stares at school. I pretended not to notice, like it didn't bother me. But it did. I was alone. Then came Athalia, a ray of sunshine cutting through my darkness. With her, I felt something I hadn't felt in years-happiness. She became my light through the darkness and my lifeline. ••••••••••• ● Warnings ⚠️ ~ Mention of suicide ~ Anxiety attacks ~ Rape attempt ~ Mention of self-harm ~ Depression

How It Should Be: Book Three

45 parts Complete

I am all alone. Even under the spotlight. All I have to do is take a step. Just once. Just let myself fall into the emptiness of this auditorium for him to catch me. The truth is...should I fly when I was meant to fall? What will he do if I do fall? Will he catch me or will he break my wings off? Will he join me in the spotlight like I thought Cooper would? Or will he fly, too?
