Courage(COMMENTS)
written by Cut_Wrist_Risk
10:45 PM 12/23/04
I hold the blade tightly in my hand.
I press down on my skin, as hard as I think I can.
A line of blood forms, but it's just not enough.
I press harder then before the blade is so rough.
I cut more and more, everything seems so tough.
I hide all my scars under a LP wrist cuff.
I hide my pain as well, no one knows the truth.
That I have all these emotional shutdowns and you seem to be the root.
Agian I feel like shit, and agian I get the urge.
I pray for all this to stop, I pray for courage.
