I WANT TO STOP
Father, I don’t want to cut anymore.
But right now I’m feeling tempted.
I long to feel better,
to ease my anguish and pain.
Let me believe that you are listening,
that you care about me.
Let me believe that you can be trusted
to help me through whatever traumas
I am facing.
Let me believe that I can stop cutting
and that you can give me life.
