Physical pain I can handle
Emotional not so much
That’s why I use cutting
As my crutch
Physical pain goes away in time
Emotional pain never does
Cutting helps me dull it
So its not as bad as it was
I try not to dwell on it
If I cut I just move on
But I get so upset that one doesn’t do it
And I end up with a ton
I haven’t cut in three weeks
But the thought is still there
No matter what I do
Triggers are everywhere
I try not to think about it
But it’s always on my mind
I’m not sure how to stop it
A new way to deal is what I need to find
Not cutting takes a lot out of me
I have to ignore the yearning for blood
Because if I don’t these tears
And the scarlet stream will cause a flood
So I’ll try not to do it
Although I won’t promise anything
I’m trying as hard as I can for you
But this has always been my thing
Please try not to judge me if I fail
Cuz that’s not what I need
Just tell me that you love me
Even if I don’t succeed
