The choice to cut is a signal .
I am trying no more ,
Taking a break from doing my best .
There are reasons why one would do it .
To ease the tension ;
Express emotional pain ;
To punish the body for its history ,
Or alleviate inner rage .
To express shame ;
To provide biochemical relief .

The choice to cut is a signal .
I am trying no more ,
Taking a break from doing my best .
There are reasons why one would do it .
To ease the tension ;
Express emotional pain ;
To punish the body for its history ,
Or alleviate inner rage .
To express shame ;
To provide biochemical relief .
