The First Cut

Never thought the first cut

Would lead to a life time

Of needing it

Needing the comfort

Of the metal blade

Against my skin

To continue to feel that sting

To see the redness

That this would

Become my life

And always on my mind

Like a parasite

Eating away at my flesh

A reflection over my many years as a self-harmer(cutter) mostly!
