I used to cut my wrists because I hoped the answers would spill out with my blood. Ironically, I wasn’t really trying to **** myself, I just really wanted to find a reason as to why I should live. I used to cut my wrists because the blood seemed to wash away all the pain from yesterday, and prepare me for the next. Ironically, while I was killing myself slowly, the deeper I cut, the more I began to realize how much I needed to breathe. I used to practice tying nooses because I was trying to figure out what I was doing wrong and why it never seemed to get the job done. Ironically, I didn’t want to **** myself because I had nothing, I was trying to **** myself because I felt there was more opportunities in the afterlife. I used to be a very sad and confused child who seemed to almost chase death. Ironically, on my slightly suicidal adventures, I felt very alive and every racing beat of my heart made me remember that I am no different from any other human. I used to chase a bottle of pills with ***** because I thought it would be a good tonic. Ironically, when I’d lie on the bathroom floor with tears rolling down my cheeks, throwing up blood and food, I’d laugh because it showed how mortal I was. I used to play games with death and laugh when I beat him. Ironically, as much as I did want to die, I wanted to be alive more--feel alive. Feel like a ******* human being and know that I’m just as vulnerable to death as everyone else. I used to cut my wrists because I hoped the answers would spill out with my blood, but I learned that* **the answers won’t ever be found there, no matter how deep and hard you look.
