I walked downstairs and into the living room where my parent's were,
while clinging onto a towel half wrapped around my arm.
Clearly exposing the Self inflicted bloody cuts. The weapon i had chosen at the time...
....A Razor.
I could never remember how or even why i started self harming.
At 14 years old i lived in a day dream.
Still do.
I didn't know what reaction, if any i would get when Saying "Look what i have accidently done"
holding my breath for the reply.
Which in the end My Father gave....
"YOU DO IT AGAIN AND I WILL CHOP YOUR ARM OFF

I read these words and they have such a ring of truth to them.. am I right in suspecting you might experience a temporary sense of tension relief/release once you have self harmed... you may think me nosey but have you found any other self help interventions that ease the frustration, hurt and or tension you feel... I sincerely hope that writing is a helpful intervention... Anyway, thanks for posting my friend....

Hiya Neville☺
This piece is written about me and yes it actually did happen.
I am 32 now...i wrote this a few years ago about when i was 13 or 14
Hiya and thank you for your swift response Flamingo.. Your most recent short post contained so much that I felt sure it was autobiographical...
it was, at least in my opinion well written and very powerful indeed.. keep em coming my friend 🙂
