Why I Didn't Cut Myself

by Heather Williams - Libra

There were many things
In just one day 
That would cause me to grab the blade

I rembered the shame in your eyes
Whenever you saw fresh cuts
I can't bear the pain again

I remember how I lost something
That I loved because I would resort 
To slashing my flesh over and over

I knew I would lose you

Reason for writing:

    I've gone since March 27th without cutting and on my one month "anniversary" of being clean, the guy I liked asked me out. I always felt it was something to remind me of what you can lose by being so selfish and I understand now that I could lose a hell of a lot more than just my boyfriend. With those of you with the same problem, keep strong.
