TW: writing about self-harm

You stood there, casting your eyes upon me with this disgusted, disapointed gaze that cut right through my heart harder than the cold blade meet my skin... the one you were staring at. 

Why would someone do this to themselves?

I can't answer. I don't know the answer. Insecure? No, I like the way I look. Unhappy? I was having a great day. In need of attention? Maybe, but that's not a good reason, isn't it? 

Maybe I just wanted you to look at me.

You did.

Now, I'm horrified.

Of what? Wasn't it scary when you saw that red wine running down your arm? When hitting a soft spot would've taken you away? When you opened your own skin as if it wasn't yours?

No. It was calming. It was relaxing. 

Stop looking at me like that, I'm your child. I'm your child?

My child isn't a freak.

Your child isn't a freak.

A freak?
