Put down the blade

Don't submit to the urge I tell myself
No matter how much it hurts
Each scars shows each time you gave in
Each time you gave up
And each time you were wrong
And it's never worth it
You don't do it because it makes you feel worth while
You haven't done it in a while
So don't
why do you want to?
Because the blood distracts you?
Because the red attracts you?
Because you want to take the attention away from your thoughts instead of dealing with your emotions
yes that's it.
with every slit and every slice you fall deeper into the rabbit hole
into the dark side of the world all your own
and once you get there you'll want to  go home
so stay home where it's safe, stay out of that place,
stay free, stay happy,
don't make it worse
put down the blade, put down the lighter, put down the rope, put down the pills, put down the gun, because these are not your friends,
but you can be
love every different detail about yourself because you were born this way to change something not to repeat the same cycle of defeat.
