What was I supposed to do...?

She asked me if I’d cut.
And my answer was a straight “no”.
But then it turned to flimsy sounds,
As I kept repeating “no”.
She said she knew I had,
So I laughed but kept my head down,
So she couldn’t see the rising tears,
And my little broken frown.
She said I better not have done!
So I asked what she’d do if I had.
I looked up and our eyes met,
She gave me evils like I’d been bad.
She pulled me into the toilets,
And demanded to see my arm.
When I told her one was in bandage,
Her breathing was far from calm.
She asked to see my other arm.
So I pulled up my sleeve half-way.
I had no marks where I showed her,
‘Coz underneath are the real scars of pain.
Above where she didn’t see,
I’ve got two dark little cuts.
I wanted her to realize,
I self-harm so I don’t erupt.
I asked her to under stand,
Why I HAD to lie.
But when she looked through me,
It pulled down all my disguise.
She said it would hurt her more,
If I didn’t tell her the truth.
But it would hurt her just to know...
SO WHAT WAS I SUPPOSED TO DO???

it must be very hard and quite disturbing for your friend to see your cuts and scars as I know how my friends and Mark has looked at mne and they just don't see the reasoning behind self harming, I can still the the look on Marks face when I last done it, it was awful it upset him so much , for that alone I wont do it again (well I will try my best)
I think that maybe you would benefit from seeking some professional help, I am still waiting for my appointment to come through..
takecare,
pixie xx

I love the rhymes you come up with. ..I really like
But when she looked through me,
It pulled down all my disguise.
that's really clever...I don't like the cutting thing though because my precious grandaughter does it and I worry about her sooo much. I want to take all that pain away and I can't...I want to take yours away too.

| Honey I loved that poem. I totaly relate. I am freakin married and my husband yells at me when he sees even a little scrape. I try to do it in places where no one will see, but when you are married there are really none of them. You can;t keep stuff like that secret no matter how hard you try. But maybe that is a good thing. Maybe you need her to see so you can see that someone cares so much about you. If you are ashamed to show her then you must know it is not good to cut. I have been doing this stupid stuff for eight freakin years. I drive myfelf crazy. About the professional help, maybe... I see a psychiatrist and they gave me kolonopins and i feel like a million dollars and sooo relaxed. Maybe you would benefit from seeing someone in oorder to find a new way to release the pain. Whatever you do remember your friend only cares and it hurts her to see you hurt yourself, evn though in your eyes you are doing yourself a favor. |
