"And she has bite marks on her tounge from everything she never said. She would rather bleed than say what she needs."
a couple from Cut by Plump: "I do not want to be afraid
I do not want to die inside just to breathe in
I'm tired of feeling so numb
Relief exists I find it when
I am cut"
"Though I don't want to die
But the only anesthetic that makes me feel anything, kills inside"
"Do I have to wear my scars like a badge on my arm
For you to see me, I need release" Scream by ZoEgirl
"It's time to make my peace, let it go and be released
So I can breathe again" Scream by ZoEgirl
"And they rise in the morning
And they sleep in the dark
And even though nobody's looking
She's falling apart" She's Falling Apart by Lisa Loeb
"They call her for dinner, she makes up a reason
She looks at her arms and she rolls down her sleeves" She's Falling Apart by Lisa Loeb
"Watch me bleed
Bleed forever
Although my face is straight, it lies
My body feels the pain and cries" Watch Me Bleed by Tears for Fears
Those are only the ones i know from songs. I'll post more from books and movies later.
I wrote you a poem on my wrists. I used a razor as a pen and I signed my name in blood. But you wouldn’t read it.
~
We have all made attempts to take our lives, or to tell without words, some with a knife or a razor dividing the flesh, making the invisible somehow visible... making themselves, and all they’ve been through, disappear.
~
At least you know where you are with blood. At least other people can see it.
oh non-believer, please believe me.
is there honestly nothing in this world
that keeps you living & breathing?
you're a ghost in your own
goddamn city.
I haven't read through all these so i don't know if they have been included already, but here are some. They are lyrics rather than quotes, but hey ho.
"Roses in the hospital
Stub cigarettes out on my arm
Roses in the hospital
Want to feel something of value
Roses in the hospital
Nothing really makes me happy"
Infact that whole song is pretty good for self harm quotes i guess. Manic Street Preachers-Roses In The Hospital.
"Scratch my leg with a rusty nail, sadly it heals
Colour my hair but the dye grows out
I can't seem to stay a fixed ideal"
That whole song aswell is good, Manic Street Preachers-Die In The Summertime.
Sorry i'm not of much help. x
Do not listen to a word i say, just listen to what i can keep silent.
The only way to gain approval, is by exploiting the very thing that cheapens me.
My signature. Not really about SH but it makes me think of it
"They say time heals all wounds. I don't agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessons, but it is never gone." - Rose Kennedy
Again.. not really SI but makes me think of it.. with a more inspirational ending to it.
It doesn't matter how tough we are. Trauma always leaves a scar. It follows us home, it changes our lives. Trauma messes everybody up. But, maybe that's the point. All the pain and the fear and the crap. maybe going through all that is what keeps us moving forward. It's what pushes us. Maybe we have to get a little messed up. Before we can step up.
"They say time heals all wounds. I don't agree. The wounds remain. In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessons, but it is never gone." - Rose Kennedy
Some scars don't show, some wounds don't heal, sometimes you can't seethe pain someone feels
If you look inside a young girl's heart and see how much she cries you will find secrets, best friends and lies. But what you will find most of all is how hard it is to stay strong when nothing is right and everything is wrong
I've seen your scars,
I know where they're from,
So sensually carved and bleeding until you're dead and gone.
It's when heaven turns to black
And hell to white
Right so wrong and wrong so right
Will add more when i think of them x
And you're my obsession, I love you to the bones...
A perfect girl with a perfect kiss with perfect scars carved on her wrist.
Razor by Foo Fighters: Sweet & Divine razor of mine Sweet & Divine razorblade shine. Day after day cutting away.
Never judge something you dont understand Pain is real its reminders of the past leave it alone leave it be just let me be me. -ME :)
Dont judge a person by their scars it doesnt define who i am or where dictate where im goin.
Sticks & stones will break my bones but words can cut deeper than a knife
Cut by Plumb:
*Im not a stranger No i am yours with crippled anger & tears that still drip sore a fragile frame aged with misery & when our eyes meet i know you see*
Dead in her mind & cold to the bone she opened her eyes & saw she was alone.
sorry all i can think of right now ill post more later
Never be ashamed of a scar. It simply means you were stronger than whatever tried to hurt you<3
Maybe making myself bleed will be the answer that will wash the slate clean.
Oh how selfish of myself to always say that it was more than I could take… But the truth is it was sorrow that I made and wouldn't face, see I am… tearing out the sutures just to make the anguish last like it defines me or reminds me I found comfort in my suffering and uncertainty and happiness in death because what's next is such a mystery to me and I am terrified by all the things I feel but cannot see"
The Last Lost Continent by La Dispute
I held her together as she healed. Her broken body lay in my arms. I realized I preferred her this way because I knew that she could shatter and yet… she could be fixed. And, for the first time I didn't feel inferior to a china doll.
I think that's how life works, kid. You're supposed to be shaken up once in a while. If not, how would you know you're real?
The iron in the blood, Daddy told me, is what you can taste. I suppose blood has to keep a person strong, so metal is a good choice.
We all live with the scars we choose. They may hurt like hell, but the make us stronger. - Sugarland.
It is never hopeless. But, sometimes I cannot hope. I try, always, to hope. But, sometimes, I cannot. - The priest, A Farewell to Arms
The basis of shame is not some personal mistake of ours, but the humiliation we feel that we must be what we are without any choice in the matter, and that this humiliation is seen by everyone.
Don't let the person in your head define who you are.
It's releasing bad from within me, letting it all come out. So next time I wont be so angry, next time I wont shout.
Silence can be golden but gold can sometimes suffocate
Like that girl in that James Bond film, too late to respirate
Tragedy can be plain to see with lights and sirens
But sometimes it ain't quite so clear, Domestic Silence
~Scroobius Pip
Sometimes you need to run away just to see who will follow you.
It's hard to answer the question "what's wrong" when nothings right
I bleed for you that's why I cut those simple scars are just deep thoughts
I don't know if I'm getting better or just used to the pain.
"It's like I realized that way down inside, I've always been lonely for
something. But I don't know what for. It's like everybody in the world
want's something. Only they never really know exactly what it is - they
just keep finding out what it's not. You know how, when you turn off the
TV or you come out of some concert, and everything just feels empty?
Like you thought that would be what you wanted, and then it wasn't?"
"Pain is your friend, it tells you when you're seriously injured, it keeps
you awake and angry but the best thing about it is it lets you know that
you're alive."
"The deepest people are the ones who've been hurt the most."
"Sometimes I feel like nobody has held me down and forced me to cry or made me hug them, or seen to the inside of me. I just say 'oh I'm fine' and walk away. Nobody's ever said to me 'no you're not'."
"So drop the little razor, and pick up your life, forget all the bad things, the pain and the strife"
"In that one instance I hated everyone in my life, everyone and
everything, and me most of all."
"Damaged people are dangerous, they know they know they can survive"
"Scar tissue has no character. It's not like skin. It doesn't show age or
illness or pallor or tan. It has no pores, no hair, no wrinkles. It's like a
slip cover. It shields and disguises what's beneath. That's why we grow
it; we have something to hide."
your tears dont fall they crash around me- bullet for my valentine.
