The Only Way I Know How To Speak

One night I wanted to cut, but I wrote this instead. I wrote "Shy Mind, Shy Bladder" the same night.

These scars are extra special. 
They show that I truly do love you, 
Just in words I cannot say. 
This was for punishment, 
For being a coward. 
How do you love me when I cannot speak; 
Not just about difficult things, 
But simple things too? 
Don't worry, 
Don't become depressed; 
I deserved IT. 
You are my boyfriend, 
I should never be closed, 
Always open.

I feel your pain and anguish in this one, I am the same way about cutting especially since I have two people in my life that love me and worry about my well being so its hard to remember to always be open and they don't understand that harming myself is the way to punish myself for closing off so I know exactly what you mean in this one. Good read and write hun, truly

I like this one a lot because I can relate. Even though I have a select few that know my secret, I don't tell them how I really am. And when I try I can't string a sentence together, plus the one person I can talk to- I don't because I think I'm a burden and im just in the way. Great work, keep it up.
