For my birthday,
I do not want flowers that would die
And chocolates that are temporary
They\'ll be gone anyway
All I want is a kit
Not a drum kit
Too big to be put anywhere
But a care kit
Specifically a self-harm care kit
It has non-contaminated sharps to cut with
Cotton balls and gauzes to clean my wounds with
Bandages that would actually fit the width of them instead of
The scissors in my pencil case,
The toilet paper,
And plasters that are just too small to contain one of them.
I want a gift from someone that knows my issues
to care about my scars.
