Cut

I know why some people cut themselves. Out of sheer hopelessness. It’s release for all that pent up frustration, untold devastation, repressed anger. I fear pain. Too much for me to cut myself. But I would. Maybe I will. To redirect all those feelings to one spot of pain. To concentrate instead on something other than those uncontrollable feelings. To focus instead on something under our control, pain which we choose to inflict upon ourselves; not which is inflicted upon us by others. I really would.
