Wanted professional mourners. Flexible schedule. PTO. Signing bonus. Must have references.

While she was carefully folding the free paper to cover the hole in her sole, Riley first noticed the ad. She laughed and showed it to Vikram. Instead of laughing he got that pointless hopeful look.

In fumes, they had coasted off the grapevine with an overheated engine and $137 to their names. Vikram’s n...

I let the pointy things piece me

I let the sharp things stab me

I let the fire burn me

I let the water make my lungs scream

Pain is optional

But somehow

I can’t seem to stay away

I seek it out

Feeling something

Is always

Will always

Be better than nothing...

Tell me where it hurts

Said the man

Wearing a blue shirt

Here

Said a girl

Wearing a red shirt

Once white

But by the slight of a hand

And the stab of a man

Her white shirt turned red

This is impossible you should be dead

Said the man

In the blue shirt

To the girls mum

Who could hear the conversation

Do they think I’m dumb

Thought the girl

Who’s perception of the world

Didn’t anticipate to be sta...

Hale doesn’t care for much.

Her family and her sword. That’s the basics. Sure there’s a bit more, but those are biggest ones.

Her title is not something she relishes in. Being a princess has only hindered her in training.

People don’t take her seriously. They underestimate her. The General, or just Gen, says that it’s a good thing. T...

TW:SH MENTIONED

The blade slides across my wrist

It felt like a kiss

The blood was red

Like lipstick

The only difference was was that I felt pain instead of love

But I could feel

I conceal

Using my sleeves

I lie to everyone

Every daughter and every son

The pain felt like a kiss...

(I haven’t been doing well so it’s angst time. Hope you have a wonderful day and happy pride!)

*TW: SH (self harm) mentions! Please don’t read if these my trigger you! Your mental health matters.*

I crave pain

Like

It’s a drug.

Pencil sharpener

Blades cut

Skin

Like

Butter.

It’s so…

Comforting,

Know the

Pain will always

Be there for

Me

To lean on.

Even when

I have nobody

Else,...

I just want to feel something. Anything.

Love.

Hate.

Fear.

Joy.

Hope.

Despair.

Pain.

I don’t even mean to seek it,

And yet I do.

I go on a run when I wake up,

Telling myself I’ll eat when I get home.

But then I have summer school,

And assignments,

And it’s been so long that I might as well wait until lunch.

Just a little longer and I’ll feel like I did something great,

Like “look at me, see how lo...

Pain is optional in this world

Mental and physical

It’s all optional

But you can learn the most from pain

At a young age

I always have wanted pain

I always picked pain

People thought I was weird

Or crazy

But in reality I knew more than the

I knew how to take care of an injury

A sickness

Mental problems

Even emotional pain

The one pain they can’t escape

Is emotional

Cause we all have...

Your skin is not paper, so don’t cut it

Your neck is not a coat, so don’t hang it

Your body’s not a book, so don’t judge it

Your face isn’t a mask, so don’t hide it

Your life isn’t a film, so don’t end it

Your body’s not a coffin, so don’t bury it

Please eat enough

Please drink enough

Please don’t succumb to th...

I personally have never self harmed. But if you do. Know it will get better. And here is a reminder for you.

Your skin

is not paper, nor a canvas, nor a pest,

your skin is where your soul rests,

where your heart beats,

where your laughter echoes,

and where your mind resides.

Treat your body with kindness and it shall reward you....
