How did I go from that happy smiling five year old to this? I'm a hypocrite. I tell my friends they need to eat when I dont I tell them not to listen to what others say when I do I tell them they shouldn't cut when I do I tell them life is worth living when I've considered suicide I tell them to be happy when I'm battling depression I tell them I'll never leave when I know I'm going to. I am so depressed I wrote something and it goes like this :
She paints a pretty picture
But the story has a twist
Her paintbrush is a razor
And her canvas is her wrist
She paints her pretty picture
In a color thats blood red
While using her sharp paintbrush
She finally ends up dead
Her pretty pictures fading
Quite slowly on her arm
The blood is not racing through her
She can no longer do harm
She painted her pretty picture
But her picture had a twist
You see her mind was her razor
And her heart was her wrist
Do you see what's happening?They say suicide isn't a option, but they never give you a better one. I say 'sorry' alot. Mostly because I feel everything is my fault. Nobody knows the real me. Nobody knows how many times I've sat in my room and cried, how many times I've lost hope how may times I've been let down. Nobody knows the thoughts that have gone through my head and how horrible they really are. You know what its like to cut? Well go to the beach and walk in the water, blindfolded. You just keep walking, you dont know where your going just that your going deeper. Thats what the build up to cutting is like, you dont know where your going. Depression has blinded you. All you know is your going deeper. Now just keep going until you drown. You want air, you want relief you dont want to be drowning anymore. Now imagine the relief when someone pulls you out of the water. Thats what the cutting is. Relief. Relief from the feeling your not good enough, the bullies, your insecurities, your imperfections. You might not understand it but cutting is the relief from drowning.
