“Do you ever have thoughts of self harm?”
‘…’
‘No.’
[You feel your sins crawling down your back]
[Such a good liar, they murmur into your hair]
‘…I mean not really.’
[You grip your leg where the blade already left]
[Stay silent, they hum, you shameful child]
“Have you ever done it before?”
‘I… have a habit of hand biting when I’m distressed.’
[Yes, they praise, you just need to distract]
[Direct the conversation to safer grounds]
“Have you had any thoughts of committing suicide?”
‘No.’
[Just the wish to disappear to nothing]
[Just the wish to be forgotten]
“Have you made any plans?”
