I cut tonight I will cut tonight i will see the
Blood fall off my wrists as I slash another ripped, into an
Open wound as big as my thumb this time I will
Be able to understand why people feel upset
When they are not in control because I think that
Not being able to dictate the feelings and cries inside your
Head and body might just be one of the worst
Things to ever experience in the whole whole wide
World
I need to have the ability, the option, the privilege
To know that at any moment when i feel too much
Or connect a dot that should’ve stayed broken up
I will be able to create a new idea in my head
To drown out the others out out out out out out!
They shall leave like they were never even meant to be there ever in the first place.

I I I I I I I I I I see inside my wound, I made that wound
And there are bubbles of fat that have sprouted, bubbled
Out from the LESION the deep deep *******
Blood red destroying sharp loud LOUD cut
If I stuck my put my finger onto the LOUD loud cut
It would squish under the pressure and secrete a
Liquid that should be kept inside my body
But always seeps out the edges of my ears
I never seen the back of my neck but I always
KNOW that its there, if I turned far enough around
I might be able to see it
Thought, if I’m hanging far above, on the edge
Of a bridge or a tall tall prickly tan twisted rope
I do not miss the time when my skin was kept
Together by the skin of its teeth if I bit into my arm
How hard until I break into blood banks for it
How how how how how much have I sinned

If others are normal unLIKE me, have they ever
Thought of tearing into their skin one sunday night
Because they knew they couldn’t make it through
monday if they weren't hurt and bleeding out all day?

Should I answer the questionnaire honestly?
How many times have I c c c c c c c cut?
In the past year or twelve months to be exact?
Zero, that's ideal,
one, that's no fun,
two, so, have you?
Three, wish that could be me,
four, not high enough
To score, five, a time to strive,
six or MORE, forever on, I've known I've done it
still I answer the big none, the big O O, Zero
I can’t even count on all my fingers and
all my toes how many times I’ve picked up the it
There are less scars on my body
Than times that I’ve cut, cut, I've cut, cut…cut
I know everybody wants to get me, they’re out, out
They have all given me looks on, on, my wrists
They all think that they wont ever fall, stoop, to my
Deep dark dead dying destructive dragging level
But in the end its all up to fate and angels up above
To decide who out there will find a sharp object
And learn to know its name, better than their own
I don't know what the **** I was on when I wrote this
Esme 2d
My school held an assembly,
They passed around notes saying ‘who do you want to remember you by’
I wrote down who they wanted me to write,
‘I want my friends and family to remember me’
I was lying

I wish none had ever remembered me
That way when i go no one will grieve
But sadly the only reasons to live,
Aren't even the people and their love
But that they love so disgustingly if i leave i know they will suffer
And thats why i stay

But in all honesty I want to forget being remembered.
i kinda wanna die but if i do i know it will destroy others lives and its not worth it for them to suffer because of my pain.

I was seven,
The last time i thought about suicide,
I was severely bullied,
my dad left,
my mum worked
and i had no friends apart from a singular cat
that also died
My family grieved when i was born
And all i wanted was love
People mistook it for attention seeking
But i was attention needing

I planned ways to die,
Self harmed,
And from ages 6 and 7 cried continuously

Im now 15 and in year 11
And i feel like that same kid

I have a girlfriend now
Im queer
And neurodivergent
Yet somehow i still feel like that sad child wanting it to be over
Im 25 days till 8 years clean
And yet i still want to relapse

Have some scars so im valid
Cry because i can and because i have no better response

I want to die-
i think i need help but
camhs is so slow i might as well just grab the razor

I want to die, words i mutter to often now,
I tried accept that i will always be blue,
But when i paint my blackened heart red ,
i know they can smell the imposter,
Yet they say nothing,

Every time the paint washes off people help repaint it
As if my heart will beat weakly till i die ,
but atleast then its not their fault
How could it be, they didn't spot the signs
But they did,

They painted over them till they would deny plausibility,
I don't blame them, they love me
Yet somehow when i mutter the hush of my pain,
All i get is laughs and ‘that is so real, i have double maths next’
i mutter truths you turn to jokes,

It's not their fault
They do not get it, its a trend
But one day i wont turn up to maths
And maybe then will they realise that maths
isn’t the worst thing that could happened to them
basically a poem cuz my mates and my gf all laugh n stuff when i say 'imma **** myself' as if im not dead serious <3 dont **** urself babes over double maths with miss awe (my maths teacher)

I had his trust
Until I didnt
I ****** up and lost his trust
What will happen?
Who knows.
The depression has been worse
Maybe a few cuts
How bout some pills?
How bout smoking?
A couple drinks?
All just to make the pain go away
The thoughts are to much.
Lack of sleep
Lack of food
Lack of emotion.
How about i just grab the blade?
Add some new scars.
Go deeper this time
How about i take some old meds?
Just a few
How about i smoke and drink?
To forget about the pain
To clear my mind.
It seems I cant do anything right
I never will do anything right.
The knife glints under the dim bulb,
its silver tongue whispering
how easy it would be
to open what aches inside me.

I brace my hand,
press down slowly,
feel the skin split,
hear the soft tear,
watch red bloom
across the board
in trembling pools.

I cut again, and again,
shards falling like thoughts
I can’t keep straight,
my breath coming faster,
the smell rising sharp,
green and raw,
like the earth itself.

I tell myself
this isn’t what it looks like,
though it feels like release.
All this mess,
all this red,
all this trembling,
only
vegetables.
18:11pm / The cutting board looks like a right mess
Shattered glass on the side of a road.
Thrown out of a car window.
By a drunk.
On a highway.

Was once filled.
Once used and useful.
A bottle of *****.
Chilled.
And bought when needed.

When one needs to forget.
When one's mind has become their worst enemy.
Their own mind.
And it plays their worst memories.
Like a sick and twisted *** tape.
Haunting.

Like those nights.
Words, screams, shouts.
Glass breaking, doors slamming, knives slicing.
Sweat dripping, tears dropping, blood spilling.

Then the silence.

And the recovery.
Though that's not what it really is...

Shattered glass on the side of the road.
Not from a bottle.
From a car window
A car with its bonnet a tree.
And a smiling dead body in the driver seat.
And their last thought being 'finally'
I get anxious,
Don't we all?
I act so unsuspicious,
I'll try and pretend its just a quick fall

Suddenly I see it right in front of me
Will it set me free?
Only one way to find out
Lets hope I don't knockout

Once is an accident
Its just an incident
Twice and the scar forms
No reforms

I feel the slice
Its like I'm rolling the dice
I see the blood drip
Lets hope I don't trip

I'll wear a sweater to hide this "mistake"
I can't let anyone see me break
Rain 7d
The lines on my thighs,
Paint and tell stories.
About my lows and highs,
About my hurt and loneliness.

Some blur together,
Story behind each forgotten.
Just a permanent keeper,
Of pain once written.

But some I can point to,
Tell you exactly who caused it.
The story of what they put me through,
How they made me wanna quit.

I won’t do that anymore,
I’ll accept that life hurts.
I won’t do what I did before,
I’ll put it into words.
