A little about me: i am and 19 year old who has been cutting for about 6 years now. i have been in psychiatric hospitals 11 times and i have lived in group homes and am in one right now, i am moving out into my own place in about a week. on october 16th it will be 100 days of non cutting, which will be amazing because i haven't been able to make it that far in a long time. my eating has become a real issue lately, i am not sure why, i just believe i have been worrying about everything else i kinda have let this slide, i know i shouldnt have but its hard when dealing with so many different issues.

right now i am giving the best i can to getting over my mental illness, i know i will always have it but i dont have to be my illness, it doesnt need to control me because i am the one in control and i am the one that is going to make better choices for myself and go far in life.


here is a poem that took me a long time to write, i hope whoever reads it likes it!!!

CHOICES:

Garret walks around school
with his hands in his pockets
a loner is what they call him
other kids point and laugh
not realizing the kind of impact
they are leaving on him
one day when Garrett goes home
he goes to the gun cabinet
thinking a bullett to the head
would be better than living this life
or he comes to school with the gun in his hand
but your kind smile and giving him a helping hand
changed the actions he had in his mind

when you make the choice
and become the voice
for the kids that are picked on
and laughed at
you could change a life and become the hero
to join the fight to make whats right

sarah feels all alone
with no one to talk to
or be by her side
all she can do is hide
and push her feelings aside
with all the pain she is in
she does not want to survive
with suicide on her mind
she takes the blade to her skin
with her feelings building up inside
she lets the blade slide
adding another mark
to the ones she already got
she is in too much pain
to go another day

when she makes the choice
and becomes the voice
for each moment she survives
and by putting the blade down
she changes her life and becomes the hero
to join the fight to make whats right

David believes the choices he makes are just his
smoking dope and living on the edge
he doesnt know his little brother,
who is just nine, wants to be just like him
he does not know he is a leader
his actions just dont effect him
he can do what he wants, he is old enough to decide
but the choices he makes
may change his brothers actions in life

when he makes the choice
and becomes the voice
by throwing away the dope
and becoming the big brother he is suppose to be
he changes his bothers life and becomes the hero
to join the fight to make whats right

Lexie is just skin and bones
afraid to look at herself in the mirror
her parents always worry,
afraid to know what comes next
weighing herself everyday and
keeping a booklet full of the calories she eats everyday
she does not know what to do
her heart is ready to shut down
she cries herself to sleep wondering
if she will be alive the next day

when she makes the choice
and becomes the voice
she finally agrees with her parents
and goes into a treatment program
she changes her life and becomes the hero
to join the fight to make whats right

you could become one of those heros
by making the right choices
speak up for the ones that are silent
be there for the ones that need support
lend a hand to those who fall
through the lives of Garrett, Sarah, David, and Lexie
they all had choices to make
ones that could change the rest of their lives
and they become the heros to the others around them
and most of all they become a hero to themselves.

a HugYou are special and deserve to be treated as such. Never allow anyone to tell you any different. For if they do, then they do not deserve to know you, much less have the right to call you a friend.
