you want to know why i cut myself?
you really, honestly do?
i don't think you want to know.
i don't think you can know.
because you've never felt that way before.
if you had, you'd already know.
you'd know about the numbness of the apathy in my soul.
you'd know about the emptiness in the chest cavity that supposedly houses my heart.
you'd know about the pain. the misery. the emotional masochism.
you'd know that i don't really want to slash up my arms. my chest. my legs. and that i only do it because i can feel nothing else.
you'd know.
you'd know i'm not suicidal.
you'd know i'm right and you're wrong.
you'd know.
i didn't cut myself. haven't in a long time. not that i think people who cut are sick, demented, emotional idiots. i love them dearly. i care deeply about them. because i am one. or was. but i was really depressed last night (which we can thank my mother for) and i wanted to cut but i didn't and i was thinking about why i used to cut and why i wanted to cut and how no one except people who've been there can really understand it. even therapists and psychologists and people. so i wrote a poem about it.

...and no. those are not my arms. i don't know whose they are. i found them in an image search.
