Why do I cut?

A person who cuts...
My life...
An uncertain person
A slit to burn never to be seen
Why do I cut?

You hurt me badly
My heart bursting
The pain I feel
The blood I see

Await, await, await another day
I cut so what
Should you care?
Why do you care to love me any longer?

I'm not emo. I just cut
My reason unknown...
I cry to die, but never show it
I'm a secret away from telling

I cut
Never to deep
Never enough to die
But enough to feel the pain

The blade next to flesh
To gain my strength
I'm not perfect but why do I cut?
My reason still unknown...
