Day 22
I haven't picked up a blade or a knife in 22 days.
I haven't thought about making fresh new cuts,
but instead watched the old ones heal.
I haven't thought about slamming my body into the wall.
Or punching myself in the face.
Hitting myself.
Or hurting myself in any way.
I have been good to myself.
I have been writing two books.
One by myself and one with my love.
My life has been filled with reading, writing and music.
My boyfriend loves me,
and he cried when he realized I was really going to do this.
I was really going to stop cutting.
And I have, and for the first time. . .
In a long time. . .
I think, that I can finally be proud. . .
Of myself.
