i looked into her eyes
and i saw her pain
how i wished so much
i could just take it all away

i looked at her wrists
and saw such familiar things
i heard her cry for help in her mind
but yet she wanted no one to know

i went to her and asked her
if she'd be alright
i told her if she wanted to
she could talk to me

i don't understand
how such beauty
could hide such pain
behind a smiling face

it's easy for me to accept
the cuts on my own wrists
but i can't bear to see the
ones on her

i hope some day
she'll stop
she'll see that there's no such need
for pain in her world

and it would be another
job well done to make
someone else feel they
mean something

my selfless love
for others will shine through
i just hope that someday
someone will love me just the same.
there's this girl who sits next to me in class.(i won't say her name out of respect for her.) she's kind, funny, and absolutely beautiful. perfect. everything anyone could wish for. i was more than shocked beyond belief when she pulled up her sleeves the other day. i almost fell over. i'm used to having self-inflicted cuts on my own arms, but her!!?? she was the last person i'd ever thought would cut herself. i felt like crying. but yesterday, i did a very good thing for her.

i was outside the classroom in the hall after class was over, and as she was about to leave, i called her over to personally talk to her. i told her that i noticed the cuts on her arms and asked her if she was okay. she said yeah, and she begged me not to report her or anything. i told her that i'd never do that, because i know what she's going through. i told her that i was a cutter too and that i knew exactly how she felt. i said that if she ever wanted to talk to me, she was welcome to. she asked me for my number and she really appreciated that i was there to support and help her. i care about her a lot, so i'm gonna do whatever it takes to help her get better. people wonder why i do stuff like that for other people rather than trying to get my own problems sourted out, but i'm just the kind of person who puts others before myself, that's all. i do hope that someday though, someone can help heal me.
