White walls observe these scars,
Red welts of regretful anger,
Marring my skin with nudging reminders.
Each one holds a meaning, committed to memory when carved into
Disgusting skin which trembles before the knife;
It would be easier if indifference did not desert me the minute
Light glints off silver edges, made for slicing and tearing.
It's a hideous sin, but somehow redeeming.
        To white walls I tell such stories, these lessons and
        Memories belonging to puffy lines of flesh, barely hanging onto bone.
        I explain how they'll render me unwanted.
        To this, thick tears and sobs out-weigh weak smiles;
        I only ever wanted a reason, but this reason I've made glistens with
        A glory so sick and red.
        It's too late to take it back.

                
                These white walls remain silent.

I'm fighting it... but the itch is back. I want to so badly that my wrists are itching and don't stop until they're swollen red. This tiny butterfly on my wrist is the only thing keeping me from making another... but my other "target" zone is itching too, and burning like I've split them all open again. I'm not giving up yet, though! So I apologize if this offended anyone, I just felt like this would be the best way to get it out of my head.

Also a big thank you to everyone who posted on my most recent journal. I cannot tell you all how grateful I am! I will reply individually soon, I promise! I've just been a little inactive to try to distract myself. I apologize for making you all wait, but please wait a little longer!! And THANK YOU SO, SO MUCH to everyone who has a butterfly for me... I cannot express how much hope you have all given me by doing such a thing. I will try not to disappoint you!

Such a vulnerable and raw poem from you is beautiful. While different, there's something it possesses that makes it more. I'm awed and speechless. I suppose that is justified though, as any more words would mar the piece.
