Relapse (MAJOR TW for self-injury)



I want to stop cutting
But I need it
And I want it so bad.
I should have listened
And I shouldn’t have started,
But now cutting is my addiction.
I need to stop this pain
And I want to stop this pain,
This physical pain,
But it’s just so hard.
This stress is getting to my head
And now I have to stop writing this
Because the silver metal sharpness
Is at it again.
