Half the pain is...

Half of the pain is…

Why do we cut you want to know?
Why do we like to hurt?
And have the scars to show

You don’t know, it’s not the pain
It actual hurts to cut
For there is not real gain

So it is painful to commit this sin
Bleeding our life form our wound
Only to live and do it again

We don’t want pain. It’s not good
It is only the after affect.
We know that to stop this, we should

But we need to have release
There is hurt in us
And we want to have peace

The blood is our vindication
Of the hurt inside
But doing this seals our condemnation

The cutting is only half the hurting
There is more to this
Why with death we are flirting

In its own way, it’s a drug addiction
Once you find its healing
You will forever suffer its affliction

Cutting the sorrow away
Releasing the anguish
Only works for today

The torture that is with in
The reason we self-harm
Starts after the cutting ends

When the blood has dried leaving only flesh
And the pain is turned in to peace
The hurting in us awakens with regained life fresh

Once the wound has started to heal
And raw skin is filled with scabs
Then hurting again we start to feel

People ask “why the cuts?”
“Where did you get them?”
And all they get are “don’t knows” or “buts.”

So jokes are said and comments made
Not knowing what the truth is
We don’t tell them because we are afraid

So we hide this damnable beauty
Covering them with cloths or jewelry
Doing it so diligently as if it’s a duty

Dying this living death ever day with hate
Not knowing how to cope
Just wanting to have a clean slate

With these scars left to view
Everyone knows what they’re from
So is there anything left for me to do?

They think that this is a fad
And say, “it will pass.”
Not knowing the life that we have had

This is the only way we can survive
Giving in to these thoughts
To be better is what we strive

All the pain and hurting that we feel
Is the reason why we suffer
And why from the pain our life we are trying to steal

This is all that words can say, so you can comprehend
About this “sickness”
Hopefully it will help some understand

What people think is very far
From what the hurt really is and
That half of the pain is the scar.
