a poem i wrote-what it is like

[Amanda77]

What it is Like
It’s not like I knew what I was doing as I scratched my arm.
It’s not like I had any idea of what it could lead to.
It’s not like I wanted to start using a blade; it was a need.
It’s not like I thought about everything before hand.
It’s not like I could understand how painfully addicting it is.
It’s not like I researched horror stories.
It’s not like I was prepared to add my own story.
It’s not like I understood what self-harm was.
It’s not like I didn’t try to stop.
It’s not like I am not still trying.
It’s not like I can succeed at beating this.

I like that. I like that a lot.. Its very real very.. just that part of your heart .. deep down.. you feel it. You just feel the spirit in it. The person. The soul. I love it. You're a very good writer.
