When you're a cutter

When you're a cutter

you notice different things.

You notice

how some people

only wear long sleeves

and pants

even on the hottest days of summer.

You notice the red cuts,

when bracelets slip down in class.

You notice

people's empty eyes

and the way they tug away

when someone grabs their arms.

& you glance the room looking at peoples

wrists

searching for scars,

just like yours.
