Morbid Art
March 20, 2015
You can read my story on the lines,
but the lines not on paper.
I am a work of morbid art,
and I am the morbid painter.
My brush isn't actually a brush
but more along the lines of a knife.
Those simple lines aren't just simple lines;
They're really cuts and scars.
These simple lines, cuts, and scars are
My morbid story painted on my morbid body.

I have battled with self harm for 5 years now. Before I found that writing could help me control my emotions, I couldn't handle much of anything. If I got upset it was almost guarunteed I would self harm. My poetry and stories have made me realize that there is always a different way out from your emotions than self harm.
