I'm going to go out and say it.
No beating around the bush.
I've tried to make it fancy,
cover it with pretty words.
Yet why should I?
It's not pretty, it never will be.

I cut the bottom of my feet.
I slashed them open.
I loved to see the blood gush out
of the criss cross cuts carved across the souls of my feet.
I cut the bottom of my feet.
There, no one could see.
And then, every single step I took
hurt in so many fucking ways.
Every step I took 
reminded me that I'm not okay.
The stabbing stinging shots of suffering
running up my legs.
It was perfect really.
I cut the bottom of my feet.
It hurt.
I controlled the hurt,
I deserved the hurt.
No one would see,
no one could care.
I couldn't forget.
It hurt all day long,
all day long I knew
I was different,
I was fucked up.
I was screwed.
I couldn't forget.
And if I tried...?
agony was quick to remind me.

No beating around the bush.
I'm not making it pretty.
Why should I?

Yes I am better now, atleast I'm not cutting anymore. I did this quite a while back and I don't really know, but it felt like I never really excepted it, and I need to in order to learn and get over it. I decided a good way to make it real is to write it down on paper and let others know about it. So yeah I'm fine, this is just a self test therapy thingy, ha ha hope it works!

This reminds me of Plath's Cut.
