I'm not...

Not 100% sure where this came from, but it just came and I had to write it down. I may go back and add to it or whatever later *shrugs* we'll see.

 

I crave the next cut

Like an alcoholic craves the next drink

I slip up

I mess up

I cut

I'm human

So sue me.

 

Sew me, but don't just let me go.

Because remember this

I'm your daughter

Your son,

Your mother,

Your teacher.

I'm the bum on the street

I'm the politician running in the government.

 

I'm not some nameless vagabond

Who doesn't have a life or ties to this world.

If that was true then I probably wouldn't be here.

Wow, this is really emo(tional). Lol. I really like it though. I feel the pain and sadness. What does it mean when you say "I'm your daughter, son, and mother?"
