I scratch
The marks appear
I've let people down...
Again
But I can't help it
I can't stop this pain
This thing
That tears my life apart
I don't feel pain
Just hurt inside
The marks fade
But the hurt never does
Why do this to me?
I can't help it
I'm not sorry
Why should I be?
I'm hurting...
And so so badly.
Author notes
Option 3 - Cutting.
Please be a little sensitive when commenting this, it was written in 2006. I was only 13/14 at the time, was a self harmer myself and my style of writing has changed loads since then.
Thank you.
