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.
