Self harm can come in many different forms it doesn't just have to be physical harm. It can come in alcohol or drug abuse, starving yourself as self-punishment, or self neglect. Overcoming self harm can be very difficult and a very long road, with many sips and down falls. Recovery can happen, it won't happen right away, but someday it can
Poem:
Self harm, cutting, cutter. I always found this conspect hard to understandable a child why someone would take joy in hurting themselves. Maybe as a kid who struggled with mental health I just choose to believe I could never do something like that. But new I am with a fresh cut on my skin after six months clean. The only time I feel in control is having the knife in hand. It doesn't matter how deep it goes or the blood dripping onto the floor. It's the only time I feel free. I feel fine in the moment, in power even. Till relative hits and it all comes crashing down, my mother's face filled with sadness and fear comes to mind. The face I caused. The blood gets cleaned up, cut washed out knifes locked away. The day breaks, the healing process begins again. The hope that this time will finally be the last.
