Girl in Pieces

by Kathleen Glasgow

But the fucked-up part is once you start self-harming, you can never not be a creepy freak, because your whole body is now a scarred and charred battlefield and nobody likes that on a girl, nobody will love that, and so all of us, every one, is screwed, inside and out.

Yikes

I cut because I can’t deal. It’s as simple as that. The world becomes an ocean, the ocean washes over me, the sound of water is deafening, the water drowns my heart, my panic becomes as large as planets. I need release, I need to hurt myself more than the world can hurt me, and then I can comfort myself.

Finally words to describe it

Because when you’re hurt, and someone loves you, they’re supposed to help you, right?

People should know about us. Girls who write their pain on their bodies.
