I will not bleed for you today.
I will not cut myself, or drink a beer,
or stick my finger down my throat
so you can watch me die
and be sorry for me.
Today I will live
and be happy
in spite of you
or your trivial opinions.
Ha!
Point and laugh if you wish.
The joke's on you.
I remain content while you drown
in your own pettiness.
You fear your truth,
so you poke fun at mine
and lie stagnant
in you own egotistical musings.
Today, I will simply look into the mirror with no mask.
The task at hand
will be my own honest evaluation.
I will shed the skins of your opinion
to stand before my creator and rely on his grace
to grow and change,
Unhampered by the chains or
judgement you try to hang around
my neck.
No, I will not bleed for you today.
Instead I will offer you a prayer
rather than my self destruction.

There are a multitude of ways to cut oneself. Like most of us, I have my own set of ways to destroy myself to spite others Some of them really hate it when you survive tho. So there is a bit of satisfaction in learning to forgo even emotional self mutilation when someone tosses some crap our way.

So you have a hell hole for a mind too? must be something about our age!
I have this idea that if you can cock a snoop at them you are on top,
Really good format here, when i first started to read it I thought oh no, another cutter, but even if you are you aren't bleating about it
