The Truth about Cutting

You say that you
understand what is
happening to me.
but since you have
never experienced it
how can that be?
So take a seat and I
will tell you the truth
about cutting.

you say that suicide
is only for the weak.
but I will tell you a
secerate.
it takes more strength
then you would ever
think.

you tell me I don't
beed it.
You tell me there are
better ways to make
the pain go away.
yet you can't see that
this is an addiction for
me.

It may not be something
like beers and weed
but the tug is still
strong inside of me.

You say that I
could fight it
if I really wanted to
be free.
but what you can't feel
are the demons fighting
insie of me.
You can't hear the sweet
song that my wrist sings
to me.

You say your disapointment
should be enough to stop me
but what you don't see
is how much pain that causes me.
and when there is pain,
there is the need.

I know I seem to ramble
and it may be hard to see
but what i have just told you
is the truth about cutting.
