That's about how many scars
And wounds I have
They hurt so much
But I can't have enough
I'll never be able to swim
Or wear short
Or nice skirts and dresses
But this is what I've chosen
And I can't go back now
So why stop?
People tell me
To relax
And make my episodes
Less painful
I'm up to
100 cuts
And episode
Average is about 70 though
Some are scratches
Some are worse
Oh well...
Who cares...
I know some do
My friend in the neighborhood
My girl with the flare
The girls with trama and big hearts
The lonely boy with girl problems
And my big brother

I care. And it is never to late to stop. Instead of looking at it as a choice that you have made and can't break free of, try seeing it as a learning experience that you can someday say you overcame. You don't need the pain, and adding more scars to the collection will hurt and certainly won't help. Why are you doing this to yourself? If you want to talk, I am here for you.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...

    I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
