Self-harm is something people
struggle with every day,
Causing physical wounds as a
release to make there pain go away,
Although it doesn't last long
self-harm gives a sense of control,
It's hard to break the habit especially
When you don't feel whole,
You may say it's for attention
Or call us pathetic,
But it isn't done to get noticed,
most people try to hide it,
So when you see someone's
Skin full or cuts and scars,
Don't be judgemental for
It is already hard,
Often people call us freaks
Trying to avoid us like the plague,
It only makes us worse
That it is never okay,
So look after those who are hurting
Be a friend who's there to support,
Everybody needs someone
To listen, not ignore.
