Dé Ja Vu...

Self harm doesn't seem to be taken seriously anymore. It isn't some silly phase, it's an addiction. You can't just ask people to stop, it's not that easy. I hope this makes that clear.

Pen to paper, knife to wrist,

Expressing my thoughts, clearing the mist.

A seering pain, a sudden yelp,

All I needed was to ask for help.

 

But I couldn't. They don't understand,

They beg you to stop, take your hand.

Clench it tight, and say you'll be fine,

''Just put the blade down, draw the line.''

 

As easy as that you say? Huh, I wish,

It's a f*****g addiction, it ain't no sitch.

You can't just say ''Okay, I'll stop.''

Because your emotions work their way to the top

 

Of the bottle. And then it breaks,

Shatters to pieces, and you start to shake.

You bottled it up, let it sit there and burn,

Dé ja vu; looks like you'll never learn.

BEAUTIFUL!!!! So much emotion and power!! I felt every word because I've been through similar things in my life, with addictions to prescription drugs and suicidal tendecnies/attempts. Loved it!
