a poem about self harm

[Mishel]

I found an old poem I wrote about self harm and I thought hmm it is a good way of explaining self harm.
now I have not harmed my self in a year.

It get’s me so high

So I do a line,

I take my time

As I watch the blood surface

I feel loved

I know it’s not right

I do have better insight

I aint hurtin no body

I am hurting inside

So what’s the difference

Now pains on the outside

No one will ever know

No one get’s that close

What have I done?

Why do I wanna do it again?

Tie me down

Give me my crown

Claw me till my skin bleeds

No baby you aint hurtin me

Congrats on a year without self-harm. I have 7 months since I last cut.

If anyone reading does self-injure, please go read the Self Injury sticky at the top of the Mental Health page. There are other ways to achieve that endorphin rush.
