Dear Self Harm

(Karianne Gabaldon)

A letter I wrote to my self harm, letting self harm know that it’s no longer in control and it no longer defies me. You can’t win, razor!

(Verse 1) 
 
I’m losing track of life ever since I picked you up, 
Fourteen years young and they kept telling me I need to act tough. 
Control had it’s way with me and started to play it’s game wrist by wrist, 
It slid down my arm although my intention was harm I hid it. 
 
The colors I saw went from beautiful bright to dark grey, 
Sadness fell into me, happiness faded away. 
And one day at work you had danced right away on me, bled like mad, 
And my mom asked me why and I sat and I cried, you’re so bad. 
 
(Chorus) 
 
Dear self harm, 
The stains on my legs and my arms. 
You have no right to just sound the alarm, 
You’re the cat, I’m the yarn, 
It’s not fair, you know. 
 
Dear self harm, 
I guess that you’ll never go far, 
Because all you did was just play a sick part, 
With your black, twisted heart, 
It’s true, you know. 
You’ve gotta go. 
 
(Verse 2) 
 
Well, you were my best friend and I couldn’t take that from you, 
We were supposed to be a team, it was always just me and you. 
You understood me when no one else did, I just picked you up,
