Dear FutureMe,
Mom found out about Karson and she made us break up. I'm still not over that. I've had the biggest self harm relapse of my life I wrote a poem that I will attach in the end its almost your birthday in 2 days. Tell me do we sill self harm, do we still love Karson and please tell me we've figured it out with Rohan. I love you. I read Girl in Pieces yesterday all in one day. It was amazing it truly got things right the fear, and all that. I know it's hard right now but im trying to make it better for you. Do the same for your next you. Never quit and never give up. I love you always.
-Evelyn <3
It itches
not my skin
my head
but not my skin
my brain
It feel like fire and sandpaper
My head swims
searching for a feeling
I know how to get it
I throw my eyes to the drawer
I know what's inside
It burns
It swarms within me
filling my head
consuming my thoughts
never
Not again
i promised
myself
him
i promised
but i need it
oh how i need it
i need it bad
but I shouldn't
i know that
its so wrong
but i need it
the draw pull feels cold in my hands
forigen
Bitter
almost evil
I pull it open
I see the books
they laugh at me
taunt me
telling me my own story
I push them aside
shut up i tell them
they laugh again
i grit my teeth
it doesn't matter
nothing matters
the feeling
i need it
i see it
the small box
i know what's inside
it looks at me
it knows whats going to happen
how it will give me the feeling
the fix
i lift the lid
i see it
they shine up at me
they look tired
sad
i dont care
I need it
the fix
the feeling
the thrill
I pull one out
inspecting its familiar shape
i greet it as a friend
it’s tired
I find what i want on it
I pull the fabric up
exposed the sea of pale white
I take it traveling it across the sea
The sea breaks
flowing red takes over
pulls me in
sinks me deeper
deep
deeper into the feeling
The fix
i drag it across to and fro
until the whole sea is broken into small pieces
tiny slivers in the red tide
Then it hits me
a sting
small as first
then bigger
then bigger still
its pain
white hot pain
but not bad pain
just white
I wrap the bandages over the sea
all under control
nothing to see here
my head is quite
like I'm floating
unwoken
bliss
nothing matters
I sit in bliss
long bliss
i breathe
in, out
in, out
in,
It hits me
my promise
to her
to him
myself
its was all i lie
i lied
i didnt mean toI lie
i didnt want to lie
I wanted to tell the truth
i need to tell the truth
but i cant
i shouldn't
no one would understand
i would be just another
freak
A freak with criss cross pattern over her skin
not just her arms
her stomach
her legs
But
Her mind
no one wants that
You’ll just bring them down
it tells me
warns me
whispers to me
nothing will be the same
i look at all the faces
the same faces
right now they all see the same me
but i know things
things they don't
things they don't want to see
they will never see it the same way
the way i do
Bliss
not pain
not sting
just
bliss
never just about the pain
never just the red tides
just plain
bliss
