every word spelled out on my leg
all the scars left on my skin
all the blood i lost and paid
all the hurt with in
it never got the best of me
i don't remember who i was
take a look at what's left of me
it was never "just because"
the less i grace my skin
with sharp edges that leave stains
the less i feel the need to cut
the less i feel those pains
the things that used to be
are over now...i want to move on
i won't let this hold me back
it's time that i be strong
you were so wrong to second guess
just who i could become
i'll never have a perfect wrist
i'll never fear, i'm done
a smile crosses my lips
this time it isn't fake
his lips whisper "i love you"
and this time it's no mistake
i love him more than the knife
i love him more than every blade
it's time to go live up to my dreams
and promises that i always made
no more bloody wrists this time
no more phone calls on the floor
no more feeling helpless and weak
the past can't hurt me anymore
Author notes
i havent cut for a very long time and for the first time i dont feel the need and i dont ever want to do it ever again. im done.
i did it
with out therapy
with out a dad
with out my family
i did it
and if you arent proud now
i dont even care
cause i am
and thats all that matters anymore
i wont hang around for your approval
i know im ok
and i dont need to hear it from you anymore
