*Disclaimer: This is just a creative writing exercise,
intended to create a dark mood / feeling; the feeling of
someone trapped in isolation and depression with no way out.
If you are feeling like self-harm please talk to someone,
some people cut themselves
just to feel something
to confront their pain
and face it head on
some people cut themselves
to feel alive
to know that they’re breathing
to know that they control
what happens in their life
they want to escape
they want to be present
they want to exist
but they might rather die
they want to scream out loud
nobody listening
they’re tired of people
with all of their lies
they want to be cared for
they want to be loved
but they’d much rather be
up above
at least someone cares up there
nobody gets them
no one is there
existence is pain
so why not confront it
hiding your pain
and creating your own
want to be heard
nothing to say
scars on their arms
speak for themselves
the only way
they want someone to say
“yeah,
