I Could Barely Breathe

I was just going through a hard time and wrote, as usual.

There's so much air around you but you can't seem to catch your breath.

The funny thing about self harm is:

No one ever really asks what happened.

Someone says: what happened there?

And you just reply, oh nothing

I just cut myself.

They assume you mean on a branch

Or you fell and scraped your inner forearm.

People only realize when you try to

Hide those scars. That's when they notice.

Before that, they barely even seem to care.
