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

That was very intense, Mishel! Great work!

Just so you know, there is a poetry forum here too! You might want to repost this there so everyone can appreciate your work. There's a lot of great poetry and sayings there too if you're interested.

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.
