(no subject)
I'm not starved for attention
Cause I'm not proud of what I do
But if you simply label me a cutter
Then you haven't got a clue
No I'm not asking for your pity
You don't have to be so mean
Please think before you label me
"Just another troubled teen"
I'm not begging for compassion
You don't have to understand
I'm not dying for your help
If you don't want to hold my hand
I'm not screaming for sympathy
You don't have to be humane
But don't you dare judge me
I already feel shame
I'm not craving your attention
When I slit my wrists
But I can tell if I went
I'd hardly be missed
So stop acting so smart
Don't pretend you know all
If you've never walked in my shoes
Or taken my fall
Besides you don't care
So stop being rude
You can shut up with your comments
And bad attitude
Don't call me selfish
Don't you dare
How can you accuse me so wrongly
When you don't even care
Yes I am a cutter
And I hate what I do
But the knife is more faithful
Than people like you
So if you can see past your opinion
That would be great
And if you can't
You've made a mistake
Then you're the one who needs pity
Cause you turned the other cheek
Didn't give me a chance
Just labeled me "Freak"
To all of the cutters
We may feel much pain
They can say what they want to
But we're not insane
We know what we're doing
And we're just trying to cope
So hold your heads high
And never lose hope!
