getting help
When I’m depressed, I look at depressing things on the internet.
I see all of the pictures that talk about how their razor is their only friend.
I am not like that.
Although I am damaged beyond repair.
I self-harm but I don’t know why.
I think I knew at one point.
But I’ve long since forgotten.
I do not get attached to things very often.
When my friend discovered that I self-harm it was her birthday.
The only one that I will get to celebrate with her.
She leaves to go home to Germany in June.
She tells me that her brother did too.
My cousin was there too.
She self-harms too.
She saw my razors sitting on my table.
Like a cry for help.
She slapped me.
She cried.
My friend had to hold me down so they could check my wrists.
I don’t know why she stayed.
She was my first kiss.
I would run as far away.
I ruined her birthday.
