Pride and Shame
Just because I’m not cutting doesn’t mean I’m not hurting myself

There are plenty of less noticeable ways to do it

So I’m starting to hurt myself again

But this time, I think I’ll keep it all to myself

No one to tell me what I’m doing is wrong or trying to guilt me

No one to judge me and pity me

This physical sensation is what keeps me together and sane

If I’m ever going to stop it’s going to be because I don’t need it anymore

I am not going to stop for anyone but myself

I will never let myself be ashamed of my scars.

I honestly just want someone to tell. if I ever end up hurting myself again I don’t want to have to keep it to myself. I want someone to know how bad I’m hurting, I want someone to be there for me. I don’t want them to tell me that I did something bad and make me feel worse; I want them to understand this as an expression of desperation and pain and help me…
