I always hear how self-harms are "emo" & "attention seeking". But self harm isn't a joke, it takes a lot to get to the point of turning mental pain to physical pain. When you sit there and make fun of them, you're just making them pull down their sleeves, put on a pair of pants and hide their skin even more. You're pushing them further and further into a hole and if you aren't careful with what you say, the hole will turn into a grave.

how sweet it must be
to feel all the pain at once
      then, never again

I don’t want to be the girl of your dreams. I don’t want you to put me on a pedestal because we all know pedestals crumble and break under pressure. I don’t want you to think of me as someone who’s out of your league. I don’t want to be the girl you secretly admire when you can’t muster enough courage to say it out loud. I don’t want you to think of me as the one who got away when in the first place, you never got a hold of me. I’m not going anywhere and this is going nowhere. I just want to be the girl you think of years from now when your hair is already gray, when your eyes are tired and you’re stirring your morning coffee, thinking that you should’ve poured less creamer in order to resemble my dark brown eyes.
