Restraint
Trigger warning: Self harm, cutting
Lately, restraint has been my enemy
Too controlled
Too obsessive
Too withdrawn
But tonight
It saved me
In my head for dayyyssss
Endless barrage of temptation
...the scar has nearly faded... ...what if you just.....
...what would it look like...
do you remember the feeling?
do you remember the
rush
?
don't you deserve that?
relief?
I was looking forward to it
But I knew I shouldn't
I reached out
Sought help
Exercised
Restraint
And you know what?
It felt pretty good.
Actually kinda proud of myself tonight
