Prologue
Just a cut
Just a scratch
What’s that mark?
Just the cat
Just an excuse
Just a lie
What’s with the bracelets?
Just fashion, why?
Just a tear
Just a scream
Why are you crying?
Just a bad dream
But its not just a cut
Or scratch
Or lie
It’s just one more
Until you die
Authors Note: Yes, this is a poem I wrote. I wrote it several years ago when I was 13, posted it on social media, and now various forms of it are on the internet. Don't come for me, it's mine.
As some of you may have guessed by how I write about self harm, suicide, and mental illness- I used to struggle with all of the above.
Still sometimes struggle with more mild mental illness.
Happy reading, babes!
