Unbareable Urge

Submitted by Brittney_08 on June 2, 2008 - 19:25.

The urge has become unbareable
With every passing day
Feeling all alone and helpless
Trying day after day
Not to pick up the razor
The times I do
I hold it pressed against my
Smooth
Scard wrists
Crying
Asking why
Why does it come to this point
All because someone said a sarcastic comment
Or I did something I regret
It seems all I can do is cry
Hiding the scars
From previous times
When the pain was a horrible sensation
With hair ties and jeans
You say everything will be okay
But when will you stop lying
Hatred for myself has over powered my body
The thoughts have started again
Taunting my everythough
Would everyone be better without this screw up
You'll never know
I'll never know
