Choking myself, cutting my face, my arms and even my chest. Not that long ago either. I was about to take my shower. It had been a terrible day. I saw my friends and decided to join them but when I walked around the corner, they were running away, laughing. I ran to the bathroom in tears, locked myself in a stall and stayed there. I missed part of class and said I wasn't feeling well to the teacher and no more questions were asked. I thought to myself; "No-one cares about me", "Nobody will notice me if I'm gone". I started to cry. I reached for a ribbon and safety pin. I held string very tightly around my neck. Then I repeaditly stabbed myself with the pin. I looked in teh mirror then thought to myself "Why must the world be so cruel". Then I stopped hurting myself and realized that I needed to be here to teach other people not to fall in the same trap as I did. I needed big, bright orange cones so people would avoid it. I went into therapy and now, I am living my life the best I can. I even like this really nice cute boy who kinda likes me back.
Author Notes: This is a true story. I will soon be writing a story about a real life love square I'm in. Lmao!
