Depression Quote by Delaney Ridnour
“Shes proud of herself but she wont tell you why. its been almost a week since she last even tried. but the voices dont stop and today they won, will she go for a razor or end it all with a gun. after hours of crying and arguing with herself, she gives in and opens the hidden box on her shelf, overwhelmed with emotions she selects her blade, oddly delighted with the choice she made. so once again she takes a razor to her vein, & without even flinching or feeling no pain, shes lacjing in judgement because the feeling of daze. she sits there emotionless, blood pouring from her wrist, giving into the feeling she so long resits. a smile crosses her face as it spills down her arm, shes caught up in the evil we know as self harm”
