I knew a boy who liked to draw,
He drew pictures that nobody saw,
He was most artistic late at night,
In the bathroom out of sight,
He kept a secret no one knew.
His drawings were different, no paper or pen,
But needed a bandage now and again.
We stood by the river under the stars,
He rolled up his sleeves and showed me his scars.
He felt embarassed and looked down at his shoe.
Than I rolled up my sleeves and whispered "I draw too"

I wrote this because my boyfriend and I have been clean from cutting for two years and it has been very hard throughout the years but we made it through and now we goto eachother if we feel any urges coming on. I hope to help someone with there problems one day.
