Dear Cutter

Doctors say you need help
 Parents blaming themselves
 For the cuts all up and down your arms
 Severe case of self harm
 And I can hardly criticize you
 Because I have those scars too
 I just wanna say one thing
 And pray to god it gets through
 You can tear up your own flesh
 And hate whatever’s left
 But it won’t get you anywhere
 Except maybe left for dead
 If you really want to strike a blow
 Against those that you call your foes
 The only thing that you can do
 Is live happy and live true
 Show them all their words were meaningless
 That they really should have saved their breath
 Because no matter what they say or do
 They can’t keep you down unless you
 Let them win, let them know
 That they got down to your core
 Made you hate who you are
 Don’t let them see the scars
 Instead let them see your strength
 When you refuse to break
 When you keep climbing up
 Until you’re standing at the top
 Where you rightfully belong
 Should have been all along
 But better late than never
 Now you are free forever
