**I'm not trying to **** myself My cuts are merely a cry for help** You could read them like a journal if you were to look hard enough This one from the time I cried until I could't cry anymore That one from the time when sleep was oh so far away And that one there, just a scar That was my first cut, the one that began it all Sometimes the only way to bury the emotional pain Is by covering it with the physical pain Like the bite of a dull kitchen knife against your stomach Or the burn of a sharp one The little beads of blood welling to the surface Like the tears of my emotions In physical form

Cry for Help
**I'm not trying to **** myself My cuts are merely a cry for help** You could read them like a journal if you were to look hard enough This one from the time I cried until I could't cry anymore That one from the time when sleep was oh so far away And that one there, just a scar That was my first cut, the one that began it all Sometimes the only way to bury the emotional pain Is by covering it with the physical pain Like the bite of a dull kitchen knife against your stomach Or the burn of a sharp one The little beads of blood welling to the surface Like the tears of my emotions In physical form
Some people ask what it feels like to cut yourself
