Description
Dear self harm,I am writing to thank you for your help over the past few years. You have helped me through a lot of my problems throughout my life. But I'm not sure if I can go on seeing you.
We met that one night a few years back in my bedroom. It was surprising how we just clicked like that. We're perfect for eachother. Whenever I was angry, you could always calm me down. Whenever I was upset, you'd replace my tears. Whenever I needed you, you were always there. You are my best friend. You are my hero. You are my saviour.
But then our relationship started going badly. I began to start using you. I insisted on you being there even when I didn't need you. I made you come here late at night when I was alone in my room. When I realised you could be there, I abused you and your friendship. I made you do things to me that you didn't want to do to make me feel better about myself. But now I want that to end, as do you.
So this is my last letter to you. I don't think I will ever be able to leave you forever. I don't think that I can erase you from my life. You will always be a huge part of me and something that I will never eradicate from my life. I will call upon you when I sincerely need you. Rather than when I want you just to be there.
So goodbye. Goodbye to the control you give me, goodbye to the shame that you have given me. But thankyou for being there when I needed you. And thankyou for keeping me alive at my most different times.
Yours Sincerely
Andie Jonothan Davies

Beautiful. Made me tear up. Stay strong, but it's okay to break down ever once in a while, just dont go back to your ex named Cutting. He'll destroy you.
Life can suck sometimes and break you to the point where it feels like the air that you breathe is raping your lungs.
But, oh darling, life is so much more than your scars. This life is so much more beautiful than guilt and pain from the remembrance of red lines in your skin.
When the sun shines on them, the lines turn into battles scars and the stars in the heavens lean down in amazement that so much pain could transform into something so tremendously beautiful.

good poem, but I dont really understand the abusing-the-friendship-part... The rest is clear to me, and I think I can relate to you very welll... So could you please explain this part to me?

It's meant to be a reference to the aspect of cutting where you end up doing it because of the routine of cutting, rather than the emotional aspects. And therefore, abusing the friendship with cutting because you're doing it because you want to, not because you need to. This poem was written almost 10 years ago, and occasionally I'll still have the urge to cut, despite being content with life right now.

Truly amazing and wonderful. I'm actually on the way to recovery myself. I'm tired of people asking" Why do you wear sweatshirts every day?" I'm tired of feeling ashamed. I'm tired of being depressed. It's time to say good bye to my once dear best friend self harm. :')

Yeah wear sweatshirt all the te even when my cuts are healed up, I still want to wear a hoodie. Wearing black and long sleeves that go past my wrists and covers my fingers is my comfort zone. It's weird, but I prefer it even if it's 100 degrees out.
