Abuse Quote by Slowly_fading
“Self Harris serious. Five cuts or a hundred, scratches or deep wound, barely visible or scars for life. The pain that a person who takes that blade to their skin is not determinedby the seriousness of the scars. They all kill their pain with pain. Every cut tells a story, and behind every single one of them lays more pain than someone from the outside could ever being to understand. The smallest scratch can hold hours of tears and hatred, the frustration and hopelessNess cant be measured in blood. They will all see their reflection in the mirror and everyday be reminded of what they have done to themselves. They will all make excuses for wearing long sleeves or not going for a swim. They will all know both the reliefs and the regrets of this brutal addiction. Self harm is a disease of the mind, and the amount of scars on the outside does not show the amount of suffering on the inside. So please for those people who think us people who self harm only do it for attention shut up because you don't know kind of abuse and the amount of stuff we go through.”
