Why Don't You Ask For Help?
Colette von
You hold your scars in your hand.
On the chain that you swing.
You show them to the world.
What are you expecting?
You cry yourself to sleep.
You've lost everything you cared for.
Your stuck on the other side.
Of the bridge you burnt and tore.
You wake up from a bad dream.
Sad it was better than your life.
Tears run into the sink.
Like the blood on both sides of the knife.
Carve into your hands.
So the scars are always there.
Saying you can never be happy.
And that no one notices or cares.
...But I do
Why don't you come to me?
Instead of making the pain worse?
This isn't controling.
Mutilation only hurts.
I can talk you through this.
I could help clean the slate.
Instead of going further.
We could stop your hate.

It's sad...some of us don't like showing outward pain. So we mutilate ourselves on the inside...destroying our very beings...without anyone ever knowing it.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps.
