Nails scratch the surface,
A red reality bleeds through. Steel etches memories, Buried within you.
Actions surely wrong, brought by emotions ever new.
Consequences sad, leaving lasting stains untrue.
Stains that darken beauty.
Stains that show the pain.
Stains that ruin reality.
Stains that forever remain.
Please put down your blade.
Please pick up a pen.
Please erase this sadness.
Please learn to feel again.
I believe in your scars. I believe in your pain. I believe in you.

*a very close friend has been inflicting pain on themselves and I can only imagine how bad it must be for them.
She paints a pretty picture But this story has a twist Her paint brush is a razor The canvas is her wrists.
D ark cloud is looming, E verything black. P robing depression, R elentless attack. E rupt into tears, S oon they'll run dry. S o sorry I'm like this, E nd it I'll try.
Tears burned as they rolled down her cheeks. Thoughts pounded through her head after every heart beat.
Skinny love and telephone poles, Earphones, paper, matches, coals, Bones and water, salt and tea, And coupons paying words for free.
One cut Two cuts Three cuts, four Come now, dear What's one more.
Punch the wall. Touch a flame. This is my fault Oh, what a shame. Scald your skin. Slit your wrist. My next act, Is not to be missed. Take some drugs. Enjoy your pain.
She cuts a little deeper, she really loves the sting. Watches as the blood flows, dark red soon fills her sink. Her only wish is for those she loves to forgive her for her sins.
