You caught me with a blade Pressed against my stomach Drawing blood You told me Jesus loves me And world war 3 would stop If I'd just call out on him
You told me that wouldn't make life easier But it would help me live A happy healthy life But I can't give it up My attempts at grasping for control
My shirt had blood on it You watched me clean off the blood You sighed, and reminded me That I was worth something Of course, I didn't hear you
I'm worrying now That you'll tell my mom That I'll get shipped off some place Where they keep sharp things away My blade has dulled And so has the pain I swear, I'll stop I just needed to feel better
A letter to a friend who caught me cutting yesterday. I don't really know any other way of saying how I feel, so here it is.
