Description
When you're psychologically unstableYou need somebody there who can help you turn the tables
And who is able to hold on when you feel like letting go
When you think you could disappear and noone would even know
I was alone and in the shadows
Fighting demons
Losing battles
Tracing scars and making cuts
Trying to live, but all for what?
I don't want others to ever feel the same
I want them to find comfort when they see my name
You may not think so but I believe I could save a lot of lives
I'm a victim of self harming and guess what - I survived.
I had no purpose, felt no end
My lonliness was my best friend
For years I fought and mostly lost
Sometimes I'd win, but at such cost
It's cliche`, I'll be the first to admit it
But I want to help
That's why I submitted
This is the something that means everything if I could make you understand
I just want to be the person who reaches back into the blackness for another victims hand
I don't want the money, the subscribers or the fame
I just want comfort to be synonymous with my name

I was a victim of self-loathing and self-hate as well for many years, in times of extreme pain hate and fear of how I would handle the situation at hand on the outside, I resulted to self-mutilation. Since then I have grown out of it for lack of a better word, but I will never forget how dangerous I was to myself. It is poems like this that will make one who needs that outstretched hand to ask for help. Self-mutilation and self-loathing is such a sensitive subject and wouldn't be brought up by the person doing it unless they found someone who could relate to their struggle and would look at their heart with non-judgemental eyes. It is the fear of one-self and the fear of judgement that keeps them in the dark. Your understanding is beautiful, and this poem is beautifully written. Thank you for writing this, I hope many more people see this so they can help themselves or help another.
