It really does no harm.
No one else can feel
The blood running down my arm.
So how come everyone cares so much?
It’s not them with these marks.
Why don’t they just leave me alone?
Or does it truly break their hearts?
Maybe I’m wrong
Maybe they do truly care.
I don’t want to hurt anyone
I just want to feel better.
Sometimes I care
Whether it hurts them or not
But most times I don’t care
They can hurt a little, because I hurt a lot.
I’ve lived with this for so long
But I don’t want to talk to anyone
I’m not some crazy person
So all you counsellors can leave me alone.
I’ve lived with this for so long
So I can obviously survive on my own
You never cared enough to notice before
So now, do the same, and leave me alone.

I'm confused here as u want comments but u don't want anyone to care. U can tell some one not to care but sweetie u can't stop them from caring.
No you aren't crazy your'e jus someone that's hurting and u don't know how to channel your pain. I would never judge u but I will pray for u to find inner peace.
Luv, huggs, faith, hope, joy, peace, prayer,

No. You will not be left alone. I'm not sure exactly why, but I am against cutting wrists. I've never cut, so I can't have much say in this. It hurts, though when I read from people who do. A vent for pain, mostly, but then the pain always comes back. Maybe the heart seeks company, to not bleed alone. But it would be good at times to not listen to him, I think. And yes, it truely does hurt to read these.
Please take care. Prayers.
