Sticks and stones
May break my bones,
But words...
They really hurt me...
To feel this pain,
And show it hurts,
I'll take a blade and make a cut,
Once... Or Twice...
Or maybe more..
Just to feel alive...
But that's not what I want anymore,
To feel alive...
If words never hurt me...
Then I will...
I'll take that blade and make one last cut...
And maybe then... you might stop...

But sticks and stones are what break my bones,
And words aren't meant to hurt me...
The Butterfly Project is a project aimed to help people who self harm and the rules are as follows:
1) Every time you feel like self harming you draw a butterfly (or any design) where you would normally self harm.
2) Name the butterfly (or design) after someone who wants you to get better or cares about you.
3) YOU CANNOT WASH IT OFF IT MUST FADE NATURALLY
4) If you self harm while you can still see the butterflies or you have killed them.
If you do not self harm you can still do this to support people who do
