I feel like being alone
But in reality I just need someone to never let me go
Expressing my feelings through writing
Was just another way to cope with the pain
I was numb
Numb to the world
Numb to the pain
I used to write on my skin
My wrist was my canvas
The blade was my pen
Blood rushing down my wrist
Giving me the adrenaline I needed to feel alive
I wanted to feel alive
But inside I felt dead
My body was bottling up all the pain
I needed to make a change
Time passed the scars still remained
I look at them now and I’m not ashamed
It’s a reminder to me that I was strong enough to live
I know now that there is more to life than pain
Dear Yaqui,
This post is so powerful!! You had the courage to share with us the things that you feel and that is really hard because not many people are so strong to talk about this topics since for to many people this kind of topics are a “bad” thing but in reality is not. Thank you for sharing this with us.
With Love
