A bright red scream down my arm

But I promised to do no harm

I want it, I need it now

An alternative, but how

I want to cut so bad

Im angry iced over with sad

So much is going on for me

Internal chaos you can’t see

I hear the clock ticking loud

If I get through this I’ll be proud

I feel like I’m lost in the dark

Can’t I leave just one single mark

One to relieve and release the pain

I have everything to lose and nothing to gain

Still I want to follow through

You know the thing I want to do

What is my word worth in all of this

I struggle on, it’s hit and miss

Will the urges take over this time

Are they just waiting for my last rhyme

Thank you for reading, liking, and commenting to my posts.  It is very appreciated.

I am currently raising money to pay for ongoing psychotherapy. I am a survivor of complex trauma, I have dissociative identity disorder, and complex PTSD.  Therapy can be very expensive.

If you feel like donating to my fund you can donate using pay pal. My pay pal email for donating is:

Don’t feel you have to, there is no pressure, but I’m grateful for any donations that are received.

Again thanks for visiting!
