Cutting

Self mutilation; masochism- words usually associated with cutting. People who act upon themselves with pain are seen as freaks. This type (mostly referred to as goth, as most of them would wear black) likes to say they are normal people, just more heart-broken. If this is true then one who is heart-broken should completely understand why some would succumb to cutting.

Heart-break is not simply the rising of a pain that sheds depression and hate into the individual, it's much more. Those who havn't felt it might think it's just a simple sadness and state of mind, but it's not. It's pain, a heavy agony that weighs down on you, a sickness that infects your soul, and sometimes it doesn't go away. Some might attempt to release the pain through the flesh; by making the pain real, one might hope that it might be able to heal.

Only after feeling heart-break for yourself can you truly understand.
