If A Cutter Cuts For Attention

by Jenni Marie   Oct 5, 2006


If A Cutter Cuts For Attention
then why do they hide it so well?
If A Cutter Cuts For Attention
Then why, even their closet friends, do they not tell?

If A Cutter Cuts For Attention
Why do they hate it so much?
If A Cutter Cuts For Attention
Why do they hide the razor's touch?

If A Cutter Cuts For Attention
Why don't they let their scars show?
If A Cutter Cuts For Attention
Why do they do it in privacy on the bathroom floor?

If A Cutter Cuts For Attention
Why for years does no one know?
If A Cutter Cuts For Attention
Why do they hide their woe?

If A Cutter Cuts For Attention
Why do they make excuses for their cuts?
If A Cutter Cuts For Attention
Why don't they tell anyone they're stuck in this awful rut?

So before you judge someone for cutting,
start shaking your head and tutting
Make sure you really understand it first
There's many forms of self harm and cutting isn't the worst.

    Wow. this poem is so true. i have had friends that have done that and they didn't tell me for a while. this is a very sensitive subject and I feel as though you have captured it well. 5/5
