The Irony of cutting

"It is so strange how many different feelings cutting can bring.

I cut to punish - I feel less guilt.

I cut to control - I feel less helpless.

I cut to feel - I feel less numb.

I cut to externalise - I feel physical pain.

But then after all of that, the best part is the cleaning up and dressing of my weeping wounds. I do it so tenderly, so carefully, and it suddenly feels like somebody actually cares about how much pain I’m in - even if it is just me."
