My Friend, Why? Poem by Monica Torres

My friend
Oh, my dear dear friend
Why do you do this?
Why do you think of it?
Friends surround you in delight
But you complain its all fake
Stop trying to fight it
But let us into your heart
I know what's like
I've done it before
I understand, for I too am the same

My friend
Oh, my dear dear friend
Please stop, please try
Stop, to no longer harm yourself
It isn't worth it
But you are
Life, no one knows what to do with it
But it doesn't mean to just throw it away
Stop with the cutting
Stop with the physical pain
Not just for me and everyone else
But for you, for less pain
