To all the self harmers I know,
You are loved even on your worst of days.
You will have scars.
Your friends will worry when you show up with red marks on your arms and legs.
Children will ask questions.
Just remember please, it is all because they are worried about you.
To all the ex self harmers I know,
I've been there too.
The days you face become more and more difficult like a heavy weight as you search for a way to cope and breathe freely once more,
But
You will make it out of this.
You are powerful.
Your scars will fade.
To all the the people who have self harmed,
Your stories will never go away.
But your stories will end.
To self harm,
It's time to move on and stop claiming wrists as friends.
Despite all the errors I make in my poems I find myself struggling to take a break. Tragically, I am the type of person who loves feedback so here is another poem.

I don't like
I cant stand
I hate being
A thing
That can be penetrated
A thing
A thing
Some disgusting thing

As a woman
I have been told
I am so much prettier when I smile
Even if the pain behind that sparkle
In my eye has been there for awhile
As a woman
I have had my body
Stolen from me
Made to feel like a toy
To please some shallow boy
As a woman
I have had my mind
Stolen from me
Made to feel inadequate
If I don't fit the norms society dipicts 
As a woman
I feel trapped
In a world run by misogynistic men
One step forward, three steps back
Your job is to serve
Anything else we condemn
As a woman
I have had to listen
To men make decisions
On our behalf
As they sit up high on their horses
Satisfied and accomplished, they laugh
As a woman
I have seen equality snatched
From our hands
Time and time again
As a woman
I am made to feel equal
When that is not the case
We may have won the vote
But we are losing the race
As a woman
I will not give up this fight
Even if sometimes it feels hopeless
And I am filled with trite
As a woman,
I am proud to call myself a feminist
Even if some roll their eyes
Their teeth they ignorantly kiss
As a woman
I will make my voice heard
I am calling on you today
Every man, woman, boy and girl
As a woman
I will march until my feet tire
Until all women on this Earth
Have the opportunity
To do whatever they desire
As a woman
I stand together
With others just like me
Fighting for the day
We can all be free

They planted the tree of doubt
But I nourished the tree
Let the tree grow
Blossom
Thrive
Invade
Overtake
Become me
Until one day
I grabbed the tree by the roots
And ripped it out
With all my might
And just like that
I was free

Painting with depressions
Forces us to see
Even the sweetest blues
Bleed red

The old man got mad again today
Said things he will forget tomorrow
The old man hit mom again today
Will apologize tomorrow
I saw the old man cry once
It will stay with me forever
I never made the old  man proud
I never made him smile
I buried the old man today
I said I forgive you
