Getting Better?

[americanclassicx3]

as the metal touches my skin, i release the pain from within
and i'm dying inside because i have so much to hide
it helps me to deal with the pain creating a distraction so i don't go insane
i want so badly to feel the relief, but i can overcome the craving, i believe
i need to get this off my mind, but a distraction is so hard to find
it would be so easy to just give in and commit this awful sin
but i can't succumb to this feeling
instead, i must begin healing

i can relate to this so much,
i used to think i could stop, i didn't need it,
but then after about 1 and 1/2 years,
of telling myself it was under controll,
i realized i was no longer controlling the cutting,
to be honest, the cutting was controlling me...
it was at the begining of the 7th grade i realized i was truly addicted to cutting, (i'm in 10th grade now)

great write,

love

I have gone through this many a time. So many times have I tried to stop, so many times the resistance I did drop. It's so fucking hard. The only way it's possible to stop is to have a substitute that is just as satisfying as cutting. i found that out. but great poem. I can relate in the entirety.
