It\'s a \'pet horror\' for me
Hearing stores of \'cutting up\'
Though I can understand why people do it
Some emotional pain, taken out on oneself
Out with the razor or knife, or whatever
Finding a release
A \'letting off of steam\' as a pressure cooker
It shakes me inside to read it
An emotional shuddering
Heard one tale of one who sliced to the bone
But since passed away, unrelated to this
RIP, troubled soul
It\'s not for genteel people to know every detail
It\'s too much for them
It could unbalance their delicate mind
Yet hoping, praying
Such cutters-up find healing and peace
Of body, and of soul and spirit
An acceptance and love of self
Being \'good enough\'
Or \'as good as anybody else\'
Not meaning, go on ego trips though
Of selfishness and greed
A person or pet, or both as a companion
Can really help
A belief and faith can come to help most of all
In my view
Don\'t do it - think about the outcome if you do it ......
In one sense, don\'t even think about it
