Cutting Quote by Jasmine
“You think cutting is easy to stop? It isn't. Once you make that first cut some people (rarely) stop and never do it again. But other people go back for more and more. Like they depend on it,They say its a good pain reliver. Some people think they can control it,But you can't. You cut on your wrists to up and down your arms To your thigh down you leg to your ankle, on your stomach, Everywhere. Where ever theres is clear skin. Is that what you want? What if you have kids and they ask you how you got those scars? Whats your answer? You cant control it. Its an addiction. Its not easy to stop. You have shorts and tank tops. But that will change to long sleeves and long pants.. You'll shake. And always have cutting on your mind. Do you think you can control the deepness? You cant. The more you cut,The more out of control it'll get. You feel guilty,And everytime someone touches you,you pull away. You feel like they're going to feel your scars under the fabric. You think you can handle it?”
