CUT IT OUT
Location
Dear friend,
I see you
From afar
With a dull expression
Carved on your face
You seem
Depressed somehow.
Your heart
That you wore on your sleeve
It’s been ripped.
Ripped by
Your family
Your friends
Your school
And anything
That has the potential
To hurt you,
Has.
But hear me out-
Cutting yourself
Deeper than they have
Isn’t going
To ease the pain
Or heal the wound
You think
That the pain
You get
From being down
And hard
On yourself
Makes you alive-
And maybe you’re right.
But do you always
Want to be on edge
On the brink
Of that pain?
Be alive!
But don't hurt because of it.
My friend,
I can’t tell you
That it’ll get better.
Your friends
Will still abuse
Your parents
Won’t approve
And school
Just won't come through.
But im here for you.
And if you open your eyes,
Your swollen eyes
Just a crack
You’ll see
That your
Alleged enemies
Really are
On your side
And they care
About you
And just want you
To stop hurting
Please.
Love, a fellow survivor
