Just to reassure those who may be concerned - this not a true representation of my own circumstances!  It is based on my work experiences and conversations I have had with self harmers. There is no need to worry about me! 😌
 

I cut myself

Just so that you can see;

I want you to feel

The pain inside of me

 

Each open wound

Is an eulogy

To who I used to be

Your poison oozes

From my flesh

 

Warm blood 

Soothing

My broken heart

It takes away

My breath

 

Every scar is a reminder

Of what you did 

To this poor

Pathetic kid

 

I made art

Out of venom 

I wear it proudly

On my skin

 

A shout out

To the world

Who cannot see

The pain

That lies within.
