Please set me free

By Deathkitten

Why is it so hard to love myself?
Why can't I just be someone else?
It's hard for me to control myself
You know I don't ever ask for help
Why do I drag the razor across my skin?
Why do you want me to let you in?
Why are my thoughts the way they are?
Why must I add yet another scar?
Why can't you just let me be?
Something has taken over me!
Let me out of this hell
There are things i'll never show & tell
Things i'll drag to the grave
Things I will forever & always crave
Get away from me
Please oh please won't you set me free!!!

I wished when I was at my worst, knee deep in the hellish world of hurt and pain I could of had the strength to let go but for some reason I would stew even deeper into madness and it was more like a reward or punishment to feel such misery. when I couldn't take anymore I would beg for release and it took forever for it to let me go. I hope this part of me never returns. im convinced hell is here on earth and its what we make of it. awesome!

I agree (hell on earth). I sometimes get in those mindsets, but it doesn't last long. I'm not really in a bad place, but I often feel like pulling what's inside me out & tossing it. Thanks

There is a matter on deciding how much you wish to share with them. No one can ever be completely open and honest with someone else, but closing off completely is just another way to self harm. Yet another brilliant write, you continue to amaze.

It is very difficult & yes, you are right. Closing the world out is another means of self-harm. I do have a select few that are close to me, but I don't let just anyone in. If I do, they should feel special. Thanks :)
