Many people face extremely difficult problems on a daily basis, which can be emotionally exhausting. Cutting to feel physical pain may quickly become preferable to feeling deep emotional anguish every day. If you have succumbed to cutting, you might find it quickly turns into a dangerous addiction. It takes courage to identify the source of your emotional pain and get help, but it is worth it. Recovery can take months or even years, but this is a battle you can win. Confiding in a trusted friend or your parents, even if it means writing down your feelings in a letter is one positive step towards recovery.
Here on my arm lies a mark that I made.
When I was so low, I cut with a blade
To punish my body for being a mess,
Though here is my testament, I must confess...

There is a girl who sits in the corner.
Her heart is crying out.
There are people all around her,
But no one seems to hear her shout.
Hi Kaylee,
You have no idea how much help your poem, your expression of your own pain, is bringing to all these other people who share in how you feel. Writing and poetry were always a way...
It controls her.
She can't stop it.
It's a constant battle.
She can't drop it.
My friend came to me about her cutting during our freshman year in high school. She showed me her thigh, and I was scared to death for her. I tried my best to help her feel better, but I know...

We all have a friend
Who's silver and shines
It pierces our skin
And draws the red lines...
My name is Bella but I have changed it to Shadow. I am 14 years old and have just started cutting during this Coronavirus pandemic. I have never had any friends, and the few I had before this...
I blocked out happy and I blocked out sad.
People told me to open my eyes and see what I could've had.
As it spun and as it twirled,
Round and round went my misunderstood world.
She doesn't understand her beauty inside,
so she cries
all them tears that fall from her eyes
and the pain she tries to hide
When you go through a nightmare in life of one thing failing after another, one door closing after another, you may be in a stuck season of your life. No one will tell you this, but I will....

I walked through the hallway holding my wrists,
hoping no one will see me like this.
He looks at me, scared what he'll find.
He never thought I had these things in mind.
We have so much in common,and just so you know, I know exactly how you feel, and just like you I'm good at acting being fine and perfect. My family does not know how I feel, for I keep on...
Some call it crazy
Some say it's sick
But I think it's freedom
The pain is fierce but quick...
Well, just be there for her. Let her rant to you, cry on your shoulder...anything she needs. Mentally just help her. I used to cut and my boyfriend still does... and we just talk about what's...
I look in the mirror
See my past life
The scars so pronounced
from the blade of my knife
I had a friend once that I thought I had lost because she had been having a hard time, but know I don't know where she is or if she is alive.
