love helps me stop
November 3, 2014
Some people use journals to express their feelingings
I use a blade
People like music to keep them calm
I Like the dripping color red
Most of peoples ways help them in the long run
Mine only lasts a few minutes
People say that people who cut are stupid
But this is how I deal with things
The scars remind me of each pain I've had at home
or school.
Until I found a friend who
Cares enough to tell me to stop
Knows what I go through
and is the only one I trust
he's the one that keeps me sane
sane enough to try to stop

This is exactly what happened to my best friend. She used to cut a lot and especially after her boyfriend broke up with her, but then she met an amazing guy and she got better. This poem means a lot because I watched her go through all that without being able to fix her broken heart. Great job on the poem!

Beautiful. :) I struggled with self-harm for 3 years, and am now a year clean. Stay safe and keep writing.

This is very true. I've talked to counselers almost got admitted to a hospital but the only reason I make an effort is a friend. A friend is all you need.
