Why does it matter if I have scars on my body? Why does it matter if I refuse to hide my scars in shame? Why does it matter to you? It's my life. I am who I am. My scars complete me, they make me who I am. They remind me not of why I did it, but of the fact that whatever it was - I survived it. I'm sorry this isn't acceptable. I'm sorry this doesn't fit your idea of 'okay' or 'normal'. I'm sorry I'm just not sorry. Not at all. Next time I carve into myself and drain the memories out of my veins, maybe I'll remember what you said to me, the comments you made. Maybe I'll finally cut deeper next time. Maybe I'll finally rid you from my heart, from my blood and bones. Maybe I'll finally remember how little I really care.

I've always loved to read and write... For many years it has become my escape from everything going on around me, to the point where it is one of my only real passions in life. I hope to become a writer and journalist and be able to create worlds and characters that others can fall in love with, just as I have.

16+ warning. Heat. Condensed into stinging welts. Clenching muscles under too-hot bed sheets. Tears tugged out of reluctant eye corners. A mantra of belief. Whispered under ragged breath.

A shot is a shot, it doesn't matter from who's gun it came. I can't breathe when I think about it, I can't breathe. A leaded weight ties itself to my lungs and I just can't breathe.

Memories
Letting your mind wonder. Letting your mind race. The things you remember. You thought you'd erased. The anger returns. Like it never left at all. Knuckles go back to bleeding. Just like before.

Broken promises of a better day to come. We strive to go on lonelier than ever before. Thinking of those memories that cut like knives, we soon turn to things that can take our lives, but does it do.

"Make me cry" The whisper came, barely audible. "Make me cry, I need to feel something. Something I know is real. I need that release. The endorphin's to rush through me. The tears make me real.
