after care. trying so hard not to pick at scabs. or slid a knife
through day old cuts.
clean up. all the blood. seeing all of the damage i acutally did
was so... idk, wahts the word, like reality checking? not right
wording, oh well. in the moment, you dont care about seeing your
white sheets stained, or the blood drip onto your carpet. all you
care about is the control. being able to control how much pain you
feel. and you know why youre feeling that pain. but when the act is
over, and you look at the mess youve made, you just...
shocking.
