I mark these parts for me to see,
Not caring if I ruin myself.
A never ending process.
These scars are for me to see.
A reminder of the past;
The one that is always after me.
I don’t think you know,
How hard it is.
How painful your eyes are.
Don’t think you know,
Don’t even try to sympathize.
Don’t make that comment.
I mark these parts on myself,
Hardly thinking, hardly care.
But these moments are my own,
My only pleasure, my only escape.
Author notes
I've been on the verge of cutting. I've almost stepped over that fine line that separates us. But I still sympathize, and I still know the feeling of a cold blade on my arm. I would never insult a cutter, but I may stare - but my only question would be; "Why?". I only want to know the reason, and if you don't want to say then that's fine, I won't pry.

Hope you enjoy, and remember - there are so many people out there that do this, but so few care. The past is a hard reminder of what was, don't forget that.

Cutting is just a step that takes a long time to take, afterwards you'll be happy you got through with it. May peace and love be with you as well. Thank you.
