self harm

self harm

burning,
cutting,
scratching
hitting

digging nails into skin,
banging head into walls,
burning myself,
cutting wrists

are all things i have done
to self-harm,
to self-medicate
to numb myself

it gave me a sense of control
a way of dealing with my emotions

self-harm,
thenguilt,
then sadness,
then self harm

i sometimes slip back into that viscious cycle,
i try not to
but sometimes i can't help it
i think i'm addicted

self harm can be as addicting as alcohol
or drugs
but people don't see it that way

they view it as
sick,
disgusting,
attention-seeking

its a cry for help

someone please save me...

i've actually stopped cutting, but i wanted to go back to that feeling without actually going back to cutting

Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
