There is life in the blood.
And so the reason why we cut,
Is so all the bad and sad bits of life
Can just flow out of us.
The point of this is not to encourage self-harm but to sort of 'explain' one perspective as to why people do it. Please do not self - harm, instead seek out some form of counselling; and if you know anyone who is currently struggling please feel free to call the following hotlines:

Please excuse me,
Something is not right.
I look alive,
But believe me when I tell you
A part of me has died.
A piece of a puzzle lost long ago
Underneath miles of rubble
In a destroyed world
Since then I've been searching
For the last piece of my soul
Only to find I made a bigger hole.
Now I'm falling
Deep into this hole I made.
Still looking for the puzzle piece
That is burning at the center of the earth.


Are you okay?

Yeah. Yeah. I'm okay.
Nevermind.

First she ate too much,
Then not enough.
She closed herself off from the world.
Wrapped herself in a cocoon of doubt.
She was an odd little caterpillar,
That gave up on ever becoming a butterfly.
I'm not in the brightest of places...
